One scientist claims that reindeers eat magic mushrooms deliberately to avoid monotony in the boring winter days.
Andrew Haynes wrote for the respected ‘Pharmaceutical Journal’ article stating his belief that these animals in the wild deliberately go looking for hallucinogenic mushrooms ‘funghi agaric’.
‘They have a desire to experience altered state of consciousness. As with people, one of the consequences of consuming mushrooms is a feeling of flying, thus it is interesting legend of Santa Claus’ reindeers that can fly “says Haynes.
He added interesting information that livestock keepers tend to drink urine of a reindeer in order to achieve ‘higher’ state of mind.
