'I found a deeper self love,' said Rodgers of his ayahuasca experience.
The New York Jets' Aaron Rodgers, who is a former NFL Packers QB, talked about taking ayahuasca at a Denver psychedelics conference.An eclectic crowd of thousands - podcasters, vendors, startups, seekers - swarmed a psychedelics conference in Denver this week to experience everything from a dimly lit hall packed with kaleidoscope art and a wide-ranging lineup of speakers from a former Republican governor to NFL star quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
"I found a deeper self love," said Rodgers of his ayahuasca experience. "It unlocked that whole world of what I'm really here to do is to connect, to connect with those guys, and to make those bonds and to inspire people." "Any kind of overselling is not good for science because science should be accurate rather than pushing things," he said. "It's a tradeoff. generates interest, it generates ultimately more research, even though the research might be skewed toward positive results."
"In both cases you have this upwelling of exuberance that may or may not be irrational," said author Michael Pollan, who wrote a book on psychedelics and will be speaking at the conference. "But I think a big difference is that the enthusiasm for the potential of psychedelics cuts across a much more representative slice of the population - it's not about a counterculture."
This time, organizers estimate at least 10,000 attendees. Other famous speakers will include former NHL player Daniel Carcillo, who owns a company specializing in psychedelic therapies; Olympic silver-medal figure skater Sasha Cohen; rapper and actor Jaden Smith; comedians Reggie Watts and Eric Andre, top-10 podcaster Andrew Huberman; and Carl Hart, the chair of Columbia University's psychology department.
That was a more tempered approach than his introductory speech, when, to an overflowing theater, Doblin espoused grandiose goals such as "net-zero" trauma by 2070 through the use of psychedelics.
