“We’re Talking About a Life or Death Issue”: Aaron Rodgers Discusses Going From Beloved Figure to America’s Most Polarizing Athlete and What Psychedelic Awaits Him Next

Aaron Rodgers, while talking on the Dan Le Batard show, spoke about a host range of personal topics. The 38-year-old QB, shed light on his views about his transition from being a beloved figure to a polarizing athlete. He said a few people don’t like him for his views.

“I believe that’s true. You know, there are probably two people you could find who didn’t really like me and a couple of writers. That would give those people a forum to raise their thoughts when kicking us was a popular decision and route for a story to go down. But definitely was an issue that was very polarizing,” the experienced star said. 

A-Rod also added he was a bit surprised when he was named the most polarizing athlete in the US. “I get it because we’re talking about a life or death issue and that gets tied to identity, and it gets tied to worth and truth and all these different big words and issues and tenets of our personality. So I understand it would be polarizing but maybe didn’t expect that type of extent of reaction,” the veteran of 18 seasons added.

Aaron Rodgers talks about mental health and the way ahead

A-Rod spoke at length about the importance of mental health. “We need to start looking at other things and maybe unconventional and start incorporating some different forms of medicines. There are some interesting studies going on right now with psilocybin and MDMA therapy for PTSD for the troops. Depression, anxiety, and various things. I think those are hopefully going to get more and more mainstream as we look for some non-opioid kind of treatments for some of our veterans coming back from war who are so banged up physically and mentally,” the experienced campaigner said.

He also shed light on what Psychedelic he may use next. “But personally, the DMT is in Ayahuasca is… But what gives you the psychoactive experiences like I feel in the next probably a year or two that I’ll probably sit with the medicine again in a similar format, maybe three or four nights,” he added.

A-Rod also had a message or two for the NFL community before signing off. “There are a lot of different people from various walks of life. But most encouraging from my NFL community, both current and former players, who have reached out or are interested in joining a journey. If I decide to do it in the next couple of years. That’d be really fine and interesting to take and see if some healing can be done,” the superstar added.
