The Jets quarterback said he has been approached by athletes across sports after speaking publicly about his experiences with ayahuasca.
DENVER — It’s not just Aaron Rodgers interested in psychedelics.
“I’ve been fortunate enough in the last few years to be able to sit in ceremony with teammates,” said Rodgers, who was on the Packers for 18 seasons before joining the Jets this offseason. “I’m telling you, it is radically life-changing and it’s wild to be in a locker room and look over and just know, like, I’ve been in the maloca [an indigenous South American dwelling] with you, guy. It’s pretty special.“And in this process, like I said, there’s been hundreds of NFL guys who have reached out.
In the nearly hour-long talk with the podcaster and self-proclaimed “psychonaut” Aubrey Marcus, Rodgers also pledged his support for what he called a “movement” to secure acceptance and legal rights for the use of psychedelics.
