Jaden Smith has revealed that it was his mum Jada Pinkett Smith who introduced their entire family to psychedelic drugs.
According to USA Today, the star spoke at the Psychedelic Science conference in Denver this week saying: “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,”

The “Icon” artist also claimed that using psychedelics has helped him form stronger relationships with his sister and his half-brother in a “profound” way.
“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.”
“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.”
There are many types of psychedelic drugs psilocybin (also known as mushrooms), ayahuasca, LSD (Lysergic acid diethylamide) and mescaline.

Jaden did not confirm which drug his family had tried out.
Jaden’s father Will Smith has revealed in the past he took the psychedelic drug ayahuasca 12 times while experiencing problems in his marriage.
The 53-year-old actor admitted he found “contentment” after taking the drug and said it helped him undergo a “detoxing” process.

Smith also has a son from his previous relationship with his ex-wife Sheree Zampino, Willard Smith III, who more commonly goes by Trey Smith.
