Aaron Rodgers may be playing for a new team, but his love for psychedelic drugs remains the same. The Jets quarterback spent the week at a psychedelics conference in Denver, and he made an argument for the legalization of these kinds of drugs.
“Is it not ironic that the things that actually expand your mind are illegal and the things that … dumb you down have been legal for centuries?” Rodgers said at the conference, via ProFootballTalk. “We’ve got to change that. We’ve got to change that. It’s through awareness and education.”
Rodgers has used psychedelics in the offseason as a way to decompress following grueling NFL seasons, a practice for which he has been criticized by some fans and analysts. However, the quarterback is under the belief that anyone who jokes about it hasn’t actually tried psychedelics.
