Well, this probably won't surprise many people.
NFL MVP quarterback Aaron Rodgers will be a guest speaker in Denver later this year at The Psychedelic Science conference in June, which will “offer an opportunity to dive into the world of psychedelic science.”
Last season, Rodgers revealed secret weapon in his personal arsenal that's helped him continue playing at a high level in the form of a plant-based psychedelic called ayahuasca. According to the Milwaukee Detox Center, ayahuasca as a tea can make one experience “a dream-like state and hallucinations, making you feel your emotions very intensely”. Additionally, it promotes “a conscious state of mindfulness that lets you examine your thoughts and emotions from the outside".
“To me, one of the core tenets of your mental health is that self-love,” Rodgers said at the time. “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. And what better way to work on my mental health than to have an experience like that?”
