It seems like you're thinking of acacia confusa but that bush is growing in south east Asia and not close to where the bible played out.

it was an internet rabbit hole and indeed it could be defused with some regional botany. there's some discussion about DMT content in other acacia species(?) and how it shows up in symbology.

i have the sense that one could construct a whole "ancient aliens" style ideology and paranormal theory of history around hallucinogens, but it would just be entertaining junk.
