Aaron Rodgers Credits Ayahuasca for his MVP Wins

Aaron Rodgers talked about his use of ayahuasca in South America on the Aubrey Marcus Podcast. He decided to try ayahuasca because he had tried psychedelics before and felt like he was merging with the ocean after eating mushrooms on a beach.

The Milwaukee Detox Center says that this drug is a hallucinogenic drug that is usually taken as tea. It is made from a mixture of the bark and stems of the Banisteriopsis caapi plant. “Indigenous peoples in the Amazon often use it for its healing properties,” says a researcher.

His girlfriend praised the quarterback for “changing history and forging the future”:

Rodgers’ candid interview caught the attention of his girlfriend, who praised the quarterback for “changing history and forging the future.”

Aaron Rodgers, the quarterback for the Green Bay Packers, is good at what he does. In the past two years, he has won the MVP award both times. How he claims to have done it was a secret until Wednesday.

In a recent podcast, Rodgers said that his success over the last two seasons was due to ayahuasca, a plant-based psychedelic.

“I really feel like this experience paved the way for me to have the best season of my career”.

The former Super Bowl champ has also noticed a stark difference in his relationship with the Packers since taking the herbal psychedelic.

“The greatest gift I can give my teammates, in my opinion, is being able to show up and be someone who can show them, unconditional love,” the four-time NFL MVP continued.

“They won’t care what you say until they know how much you care.”

What is Ayahuasca?

The Alcohol and Drug Foundation (ADF) of Australia says that the Banisteriopsis is heated or boiled to make a concentrated liquid called ayahuasca. Its active ingredient is DMT, which is a hallucinogen that can be smoked in a pipe or made into a drink. In the U.S., DMT is a Schedule I drug.

Ayahuasca is popular in the U.S. because it is thought to have spiritual benefits. A drug alert from the Milwaukee Detox Center says that this drug can be bought online as a tea and that countries like Ecuador and Costa Rica offer “weeklong experiences where you can attend this drug ceremony led by a shaman”.

Rodgers said that he doesn’t “think it’s a coincidence” that he won MVP in 2020 and 2021 after drinking ayahuasca in South America.

“We talked a lot about mental health, and to me, one of the most important parts of mental health is loving yourself, and ayahuasca helped me do that. “It helped me see how to love without conditions, and it’s only when I can love myself without conditions that I can truly love others without conditions,” Rodgers said. “I mean, it’s important that I play well, show up, lead, and all that, but they won’t care what you say until they know how much you care”.

The Milwaukee Detox Center says that drinking this drug tea can make you feel like you’re in a dream and give you hallucinations. This can make you feel your emotions very strongly.

The center says that people who use ayahuasca may think it gives them “a conscious state of mindfulness that lets you look at your thoughts and feelings from the outside.” Some people also think it lets them “recall their memories very vividly”.

Ayahuasca helped him “see things from a different angle”:

Rodgers wanted people to think about the good things about the drug instead of the bad things. He said that ayahuasca helped him “see things from a different angle” and made him “much more freedom at work, as a leader, as a teammate, as a friend, and as a lover.” He said that the experience helped his mental health as a whole.

The Milwaukee Detox Center says that this drug has not been shown to help with mental illness. ADF says that there is no safe way to use psychedelic drugs, including ayahuasca.

Rodgers is the NFL player who makes the most money, and this will be his 18th season with the Packers.
