Packers Aaron Rodgers Credits Psychedelics for MVP Seasons

Famous vax denier Aaron Rodgers loves his shrooms.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11080889/Aaron-Rodgers-reveals-using-South-American-psychedelic-drug-led-best-season-career.html

The drug ayahuasca has been used for thousands of years as a traditional healing method in Central and South America, mainly used by tribal societies in the Amazon basin.

Ayahuasca contains Dimethyltryptamine (DMT), a controlled substance that is illegal to posses or distribute in the US or the UK, according to federal law.

So ayahuasca seekers travel to countries such as Brazil, Peru, Ecuador and Costa Rica for retreats that cost an average of $3,500 a week at places like Rythmia, an all-inclusive, luxury medically-licensed plant medicine center in Costa Rica.

“I came back and knew that I was never going to be the same. It gave me a deep and meaningful appreciation for life. My intention for going in was that I wanted to see what pure love feels like. And I did. I had a magical experience with the sensation of feeling 100 different hands on by body and imparting a blessing of love and forgiveness for myself and gratitude for this life from what seemed to be my ancestors… I really felt like that set me on my course to be able to go back into my job and have a different perspective on things, and to be a lot more free at work as a leader, as a teammate, as a friend, as a lover. And I really feel like that experience paved the way to have the best season of my career.”


HEY AARON, THOSE HUNDRED DIFFERENT HANDS ARE FORTY-NINER DEFENDERS. (50?)
Oh, maybe it only FEELS like 100.

and its effects wear off in the post season as Rodgers has repeatedly failed to get to the Super Bowl since his one appearance since 2011.

about the fact that he dragged a mediocre team that didn't have a right or reason to be in the NFC Championship to the Championship than it is about his skill level. Take Adams, for example. One of the best receivers in the league based on the stats. But you put him on the Vikings and he is WR3. He isn't better than Theilen and he CERTAINLY isn't better than Jefferson, but Rodgers made him great.

Once with Kurt Warner and the other time with Carson Palmer.

Go Cardinals!

Without him, that exact team never makes it to the NFC Championship.
