The Smith family has taken many trips together — and some didn’t involve a private jet.
Jaden Smith said his mom, Jada Pinkett Smith, introduced psychedelic drugs to him and the rest of the family.
The “Karate Kid” star, 24, appeared at the Psychedelic Science conference and spoke about his introduction to mind-altering substances.
“I think it was my mom, actually, that was really the first one to make that step for the family,” Smith said, according to USA Today.
He went on: “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, whose dad is Will Smith, confessed that psychedelics have improved and revamped his relationships with his sister Willow, 22, and brother Trey, 30.
Smith explained: “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.
“But the level of love and empathy that I can feel for them inside of the experiences and outside of the experiences has been something that’s profound and beautiful,” he added.
“It will actually help us to 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,” Smith noted.
Pinkett Smith, 51, got candid about her magic mushroom use and drug utilisation on a November 2021 episode of her show “Red Table Talk.”
The “Gotham” star confessed she had depression for a long time and the “plant medicine” helped her “feel better but also solves the problems of how you got there in the first place.”
She suggested that curious purchasers should ask experts before buying the hallucinogens.
“You have to really wanna do it, this is not for play,” she stated.
“You have to be willing to confront some hard stuff. It is very healing and it has changed my life.”
Drugs such as ayahuasca, LSD and MDMA are illegal in the United States. However, several states have decriminalised substances such as magic mushrooms.
