Jada Pinkett Smith influenced family’s psychedelic drug use, son Jaden says
foxnews.comJada Pinkett Smith was the first to introduce psychedelic drugs into her family, according to her 24-year-old son, Jaden Smith. "I think it was my mom, actually, that was really the first one to make that step for the family," Jaden Smith said of Jada Pinkett Smith, 51, while speaking at the Psychedelic Science conference in Denver on Friday, according to USA Today. "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." Reps for Jada Pinkett Smith and Jaden Smith did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.
The 24-year-old said the drugs, which are mainly illegal in the U.S., have given him more "empathy," especially with his siblings. "Siblings can argue so much and fight so much, and lord knows me and my siblings have done so much of that in the past," Jaden said of his sister Willow, 22, and his half-brother Trey, 30. "But the level of love and empathy that I can feel for them inside of the (psychedelic) experiences and outside of the experiences has been something that's profound and beautiful." He said that doing the drugs together helps them "open up our minds to get out of the old ways of thinking that got us into lots of these arguments and open it up so that it just releases and makes room for you to work it out and massage it out until it's completely gone." Psychedelic drugs like ayahuasca, LSD and MDMA remain illegal in the U.S.
