I like your term, Rev.

Here's an ancient reference to "getting high":

And when the queen of Sheba had seen all Solomon's wisdom, and the house that he had built, and the meat of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers, and their apparel, and his cupbearers, and his ascent by which he went up unto the house of the LORD; there was no more spirit in her. (1Kings 10:4-5)

Ascent in Greek is 'olah: Feminine active participle of 'alah; a step or (collectively stairs, as ascending); usually a holocaust (as going up in smoke).

Went up in Greek is 'alah meaning to ascend, intransitively (be high) or active (mount).

Thoughts anyone?
