Due to Rodgers’ revelation about the psychedelics, questions arose about whether the league would give the Packers quarterback a suspension. Aaron Rodgers himself admitted the tea helped him a lot for the upcoming season. Due to it, people have begun to wonder whether those psychedelics will be termed PEDs or not.
The NFL has made its stance clear, and there will be no action imposed on Rodgers. According to Adam Schefter of ESPN: “NFL said that Aaron Rodgers’ use of ayahuasca does not violate its drug policy.”
Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers credits his back-to-back MVPs to the psychoactive brew ayahuasca:

Since Ayahuasca isn’t a performance-enhancing drug, the league decided not to take any action against Rodgers. They helped him to clear his mind, and as a result, Rodgers became a better version of himself.
After winning the MVP for the 2020 NFL season, Rodgers again won another MVP award in the 2021 NFL season. Even though he suffered brutal playoff losses in both seasons, A-Rod is still playing at an elite level.

The Minnesota Vikings got better in the offseason, and they can challenge the Packers for the AFC North title. Aaron Rodgers needs to step up and prove everyone wrong. If he wins his third straight MVP award, then that would be a great achievement on his part. Notably, playoff success will also be very important for him this time around.
