The NFL isn’t worried about Aaron Rodgers’ recent comments that psychedelic drugs helped him play better. A league spokesman says Rodgers’ use of ayahuasca wouldn’t violate the league’s substance abuse policy and wouldn’t trigger a positive test. Rodgers says he tried the psychoactive drug during a trip to Peru in 2020 – and afterwards enjoyed the “best season of my career”.
