Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers recently opened up about his experience with ayahuasca, a psychoactive tea that contains the hallucinogenic drug DMT.
Rogers told Aubrey Marcus, the founder of Onnit, that ayahuasca helped him learn how to love himself unconditionally.
“To me, one of the fundamental principles of your mental health is self-love,” Rodgers said, via Sports Illustrated. “That’s what ayahuasca did for me was help me see how to love myself unconditionally. Only in this unconditional love for myself can I truly be able to love others unconditionally. And what better way to work on my mental health than to have that experience?”
Chicago Bears offensive coordinator Luke Getsey, who has been an assistant coach with the Packers for several years, was asked about Rodgers’ use of psychedelics on Saturday.
Getsy had a really funny comment about Rogers’ extracurricular activities.
“I wasn’t invited on those trips … Hey, whatever it takes, I guess,” Getsy said, via Jason Leaser of the Chicago Sun-Times .
Getsy knows Rogers quite well. He was the Packers’ quarterbacks coach from 2019-2021.
While Rodgers’ off-field behavior is a bit odd, Getsy understands how scary things can get when you’re on the opposing sideline.
