Jaden Smith said his mother, Jada Pinkett Smith, introduced the family to psychedelics. «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.»Smith, 24, went on to credit psychedelics for helping him find a profound love and empathy for his siblings, Willow, 22, and half-brother Trey, 30.«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,» he said. «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.»It's not the first time Jaden or Jada has spoken about their family's use of psychedelic drugs.

During a November 2021 episode of , the pair shared their personal experiences with psychedelics. Jada said that she was introduced to plant medicine 10 years ago to deal with depression and says the treatment «knocked it out,» unlike going to therapy and being put on Prozac, «It's not successful for everybody,» she said of going the traditional route. «I struggled with depression for so long.

And the thing about the plant medicine is it helps you feel better but also solves the problems of how you got there in the first place.»Jaden also used the conversation to cite recent studies that toted mushrooms as one of the most significant advances in treating depression since more traditional anti-depressants like Prozac inspired his use of psychedelics.
