Packers’ Aaron Rodgers Won’t Be Disciplined for Using Psychedelic Drug

Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers created a bit of a stir when he discussed previously having tried ayahuasca, a psychoactive tea containing the hallucinogenic drug DMT, in a recent interview.

But there will be no discipline from the NFL regarding the star QB’s admission regarding sampling the substance during a trip to Peru in 2020. League spokesman Brian McCarthy confirmed as much to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel.

Ayahuasca, which has been used for thousands of years for healing purposes in Central and South America, isn’t on the NFL’s list of banned substances.
