Jaden Smith has revealed that his mother Jada Pinkett Smith introduced the rest of the Smith family to psychedelics.
The 24-year-old son of Jada and Will Smith made the remarks while speaking at the Psychedelic Science conference in Denver, Colorado, last week.
“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.”
Jaden went on to credit psychedelics with helping him deepen his emotional connections with his sister, 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.”
