Mario Chat / Mario lost in psychedelia?

Hey, peoples, i'm sure i can't be the first person to have this stupid idea, but i can't help but wonder if the Mario world has a few subtle drug references.  all this stuff about mushrooms, those sweet, succulent magic mushrooms... what about those fuzzies in Yoshi's island that turned the world into a tripped out wobbly mass of colorful confusion?  call me crazy [no really, go for it], but shigeru miyamoto seems like the kinda guy who had lots of lysergic escapades back in his day.  and what the [****] was super mario bros. 2 all about?  i know it was originally based on a different game, but the whole idea of that insane dream sequence complete with transvestite dinosaur-looking things, what can i even say? obviously the minds of the game designers are just filled with wild creativity, some of the things i mentioned though always struck me as kind of odd.  i have flashbacks [don't do drugs, children] sometimes just messing around in the special world in super mario world.  i don't know, i'm probably just nuts.  what are your thoughts?
