Did Aaron Rodgers violate the NFL’s drug policy?
Aaron Rodgers recently admitted his experience with a psychedelic drug, stating that when he did experience the drug, he had the best seasons of his career.
Rodgers told the “Aubrey Marcus Podcast” that he had a “magical experience” with ayahuasca, which contains a hallucinogenic drug DMT.
NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said Monday that it wouldn’t have triggered a positive test result on either the substance abuse or performance-enhancing substance policies collectively bargained by the NFL and its players’ association.
Rodgers said on the podcast that the retreat gave him “a deep and meaningful appreciation for life” and added that “I came back and knew I was never going to be the same.” Rodgers said he believed the experience helped pave the way for his success that year.
Rodgers obviously did his homework before using the drug. I mean at this point, he can use it again tomorrow, he just got the green light from the league.
