Aaron Rodgers advocates for psychedelics and mental health at conference.
NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers spoke at a psychedelics conference in Denver and advocated for the legalization of psychedelics by discussing his own experiences. Rodgers described taking ayahuasca with his teammates as "radically life-changing," and said many other pro athletes have reached out to him. He also called out the "bums" who have criticized him after he has discussed his experiences. Psychedelics are illegal at the federal level, though acceptance and interest in studying their potential benefits has grown.
