The Green Bay Packers QB is a philosophical man. Aaron Rodgers reads some great literature and has a lot to talk about in general. Recently, on an appearance on the hit podcast, ‘The Pat McAfee Show,’ the star QB answered a philosophical question about death and the afterlife. He detailed how taking ayahuasca helped him to build a new outlook toward death. This garnered various reactions from the fans on Twitter who always want to listen to what Rodgers has to say.

Sports analyst A. J. Hawk asked a question that was not related to football. Hawk wanted to know if A-Rod feared death. The back-to-back MVP winner recounted that when he was 16 years old, he thought the world would end because of Y2K. A-Rod feared he would never fall in love and have children or would never play in the NFL.

Rodgers’ ecstatic experience

However, since he started taking ayahuasca and other hallucinogenic substances, the fear of death has subsided.

“Ayahuasca and psilocybin actually really helped me with that and alleviated a lot of the stress around the idea of needing to accomplish things before I actually die and has kinda taken away some of that fear,” Aaron Rodgers said. “I think when you’ve seen the other side, it makes the idea of death more of a passage and less of an ending.”
