Aaron Rodgers has opened up about how doing ayahuasca, a psychedelic drug, has helped him overcome his “fear of death”.
On 13 December, the Green Bay Packers quarterback appeared on The Pat McAfee Show, where he spoke about his use of ayahuasca, a psychoactive plant-based brew, and psilocybin, a naturally occurring hallucinogenic substance found in certain types of mushrooms.
After co-host AJ Hawk asked the 39-year-old NFL star if he was “scared of dying,” Rodgers explained how he was first exposed to mortality at a young age due to the events of the “Y2K problem” – a computer glitch in some software systems that could have disrupted the transition from the year 1999 to 2000.
