The Green Bay Packers pulled an impressive win against their division rivals, Chicago Bears, in the Week 2 fixture. Aaron Rodgers owned the Bears once again and won by a 27-10 score. Although not a perfect game, the Packers improved from how they played in Week 1. While there were ‘oops’ moments on the field, a particular touchdown celebration got a lot of attention from the fans. Many fans found it hilarious. Therefore, the lead shot-caller had to explain if he had any contribution in the celebration’s planning.

In the offseason, while A-Rod was on his summer podcast tour, he revealed on Aubrey Marcus’ podcast that he sipped on ayahuasca tea. What is ayahuasca? Well, it’s a psychedelic that helps one relax and calm themselves. A common cannabis plant in the Northern American region. Since that news, Aaron Rodgers’ practice went viral and there were more people talking about it. And he started many conversations around the DMT infused psychedelic.

In the Week 2 game, the Green Bay Packers did an ayahuasca celebration. The Super Bowl-winning QB threw a pass to Allen Lazard. Lazard caught the ball and reached the end-zone for a touchdown. He innovated a unique way to celebrate. With the ball, the WR fictitiously poured tea in the fictitious cups that Randall Cobb and Yosh Nijman held. Then they passed out immediately. Showing how one may pass out after drinking the magic tea. Aaron Rodgers stood there, with his hands shimming like that of a spirit entering his body. Maybe that is how people feel after they sip on psychedelic tea?
