Still, medical experts caution that more research is needed on the drugs’ efficacy and the extent of the risks.NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who’ll soon debut with the New York Jets after years with the Green Bay Packers, has been open about his use of ayahuasca in the past and is slated to speak Wednesday.
