Jaden Smith Says His Mom Jada Pinkett-Smith Introduced Psychedelics To Their Family

According to Jaden Smith, psychedelics have been a major help in his life and have benefited him and his family.

Last week, Jaden Smith was a guest speaker at the Psychedelic Science conference in Denver where he opened up about his experience using the substance. The 24-year-old revealed that it was his mother, Jada Pinkett Smith, who initially introduced him to hallucinogens.

“I think it was my mom, actually, that was really the first one to make that step for the family. 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 Smith shared that the psychedelics were especially helpful for him and played a role in him becoming more empathetic towards his siblings, sister Willow Smith, 22, and half-brother Trey Smith, 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. 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.”

Smith also said that psychedelics have helped resolve conflict between him and his siblings.

“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.”

While there is some clinical research that suggests there are benefits to using psychedelics, it is still illegal in most states. According to reports, there is indeed evidence that proves that the hallucinogen does increase emotional empathy. However, like most things, there are pros and cons. The downside is psychedelic use can cause psychosis and other hallucination-related disorders, memory impairment, sleep disruption and short-term depression. It can also give you a negative experience even with the proper setting and dosage.

While Jaden Smith did not disclose how long he’s been using psychedelics, it appears the actor has been using them for a while now.
