At a recent Psychedelic Science conference in Denver, Jaden Smith disclosed that his mother, Jada Pinkett Smith, was the family's pioneer in exploring the realm of psychedelic drug usage.
Jaden acknowledged that his mother had embarked on this journey long before anyone else in their family, and over time, others, including his father Will Smith and sister Willow Smith, followed suit.
"I think it was my mom, actually, that was really the first one to make that step for the family." Jaden said.
"It was just her for a really, really long time and then eventually it just trickled and evolved and everybody found it in their own ways."
According to Jaden, these psychedelic experiences have played a role in strengthening his bond with his siblings, particularly Willow and his half-brother Trey Smith.
Jada had previously spoken about her use of psychedelics, particularly plant medicine, as a means to improve her mental health and battle depression. She shared her journey on an episode of her show Red Table Talk, highlighting the transformative effects of these substances.
