Packers’ Aaron Rodgers says psychedelics led to back-to-back MVP seasons

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers seems to have found the fountain of youth as he has been named NFL MVP in each of the last two seasons despite entering his 30s. In a recent interview at The Aubrey Marcus Podcast, Rogers attributed his recent success to psychedelics.

Rodgers revealed that the Ayahuasca plant, which is found in South America, has helped improve his mental health.

“I think there are so many myths and rumors about it,” Rodgers said during the interview. “The fear around it is that you’re going to– yourself, it’s just a big festival…but the negative context is that it’s the experience, not the deep and meaningful and crazy mind-expanding potential and also deep self-love and healing that can happen on the other side’.

Rogers knew the experience would instantly make him a changed man, saying “I came back and knew I’d never be the same.”

Ever since Rodgers began traveling to South America to partake in these psychedelics, he believes it’s no “coincidence” that he won league MVP during the 2020 and 2021 seasons. Rodgers now sets the record for the negative stereotypes about the Ayahuasca plant.

“I had a magical experience with the sensation of a hundred different hands on my body imparting a blessing of love and forgiveness for myself and gratitude for this life from what seemed to be my ancestors,” Rodgers said when describing his first experience.

Rodgers added that he had previously experimented with mushrooms before trying Ayahuasca.

Now, Rodgers believes he’s better equipped to lead the Packers to glory — and the Ayahuasca plant has helped with that.

“Being a lot more free at work, as a leader, as a teammate, as a friend, as a lover,” Rodgers said. “I really feel like this experience paved the way for me to have the best season of my career.”
