Ayahuasca Is Not A Drug, Explains Aaron Rodgers
Aaron Rodgers, the quarterback for the Green Bay Packers, will be appearing each week on “The Pat McAfee Show” for the third straight season. He will discuss a variety of subjects, covering his team’s performance over the weekend and a prediction of the next game.
Aaron Rodger Says “It’s A Plant, Not A Drug”
Although ayahuasca is listed as a Schedule I substance in the US, Rodgers does not necessarily agree with this classification. The Packers quarterback discussed on “The Pat McAfee Show” why he thinks ayahuasca shouldn’t be considered a drug and why the stigma around it is somewhat exaggerated.

Aaron Rodgers admitted to using ayahuasca in the past during the offseason, which caused the internet to go crazy and forced the NFL to explain that the athlete was not in violation of their substance usage policy.
While ayahuasca, also known as DMT, is a liquid hallucinogenic that induces hallucinations and is outlawed in the United States, it can be found and consumed in a number of South American nations, including Peru, where Rodgers first tried it in the 2020 season.

Ayahuasca, marijuana, and psilocybin are all plants (and fungi), according to Rodgers, who also explained that the term “drug” casts a bad image on more natural Earth cures like his ayahuasca experience.
Although Rodgers makes a somewhat critical point, it is still important to remember that just because something is created from a plant doesn’t mean it isn’t a drug. After all, the majority of medications are made from natural ingredients. Everything depends on how you go about making it and how it affects you.

Aaron Rodgers Doesn’t Want Ayahuasca To Be Considered “Bad”
Additionally, Aaron Rodgers discussed the touchdown celebration that his teammate Allen Lazard started during their Sunday Night Football contest with the Chicago Bears.
With the exception of Rodgers, who simply shook his body, the majority of Lazard’s teammates fell to the ground as soon as he imitated pouring cups of the drink for them during the celebration.

The quarterback would claim that consuming ayahuasca is not an instantaneous pass to oblivion and that he doesn’t want to mislead the public about it.
“You’re not murdering in the spirit when standing up drinking and experiencing this Jesus revival. That is not how it is. “He revealed this to Pat McAfee.
