Smokin' on mistletoe: the holiday post

Were Santa and his reindeer just a drug-addled hallucination?  Conventional wisdom holds that the red and white Santa Claus as we predominantly know him was a Coca-Cola concoction from Madison Avenue, but a recent NPR report seems to think: maybe shrooms had something to do with it.

Keep in mind that Harvard has a famous history with formalized, ostensibly empirical shrooms research.  Remember the Harvard Psilocybin and Harvard Psychedelic Research Projects (both under the guise of Timothy Leary)?  It looks like fair Harvard has kept with this tradition, especially for the holidays:
