It appears Aaron Rodgers is becoming an influence on other NFL players
At this point, New York Jets‘ quarterback Aaron Rodgers has to be considered a pioneer when it comes to discussing psychedelic substances amongst athletes in an open manner. Over the last couple of years, the QB has never denied he has benefited from doing ayahuasca trips. We are talking about one of the most potent psychedelic substances known to humans. From a medicinal standpoint, psychedelic substances are currently being used in a controlled and legal manner to treat different types of mental health issues. One of the most common is alcoholism, which has become one of the more predominant diseases in modern society and it has claimed millions of lives throughout the years.

Since then, Poyer confirmed the treatment worked and he wanted to give Aaron Rodgers his flowers. He spoke on The Ones podcast about the experience: “I know a lot of people are probably like, ‘Oh, Aaron Rodgers, it’s crazy, whatever. There are thousands of ways to heal, but Aaron Rodgers – he was right in what he was talking about in this medicine. A lot of people wrote him off, a lot of people think he’s crazy, a lot of people think he’s, you know, off the wire, whatever… I was interested.”
