Aaron Rodgers says psychedelic drugs led to ‘best season of my career’

Aaron Rodgers revealed his past use of psychedelic drugs not only helped improve his mental health, but ultimately led him to the “best season” of his NFL career.

Appearing on the Aubrey Marcus Podcast, the Green Bay Packers quarterback, 38, said ayahuasca — a psychoactive tea containing the hallucinogenic drug DMT — helped him “unconditionally love myself.”

“To me, one of the core tenets of your mental health is that self-love,” Rodgers told host Aubrey Marcus.

“That’s what ayahuasca did for me, was help me see how to unconditionally love myself.”

“It’s only in that unconditional self-love, that then I’m able to truly be able to unconditionally love others.
