Aaron Rodgers Says 'Ayahuasca' Helped Him Win Back-to-Back NFL MVP Awards

Aaron Rodgers is one of the more iconic faces in sports and he is also a huge advocate for the legalization and normalization

Speaking at the Psychedelic Science conference in Denver, Colorado this week, Aaron Rodgers talks about his experience of when he was experiencing with ayahuasca, a drink made from Amazonian plants that contain a psychoactive ingredient.

“It’s going to be hard to cancel me because the previous year [in 2019] – 26 touchdowns, four interceptions, we had a good season,” Rodgers said on Wednesday. “Ayahuasca – 48 touchdowns, five interceptions, MVP. What are you gonna say?”

He goes on to say, “I guarantee you all these bums who want to come after me online about my experience and stuff, they’ve never tried it. They’re the perfect people for it, we need to get these people to take it.”

It's safe to say that Aaron Rodgers is passionate about psychedelics and also said that he has been approached by many people from the professional sporting world.

“To see basketball players and baseball players and surfers, entertainers and my own teammates and colleagues across the league reach out and either share their story about their own medicine journey or ask to be a part of an upcoming one was pretty special.”
