“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 shared, according to Entertainment Tonight.
Speaking at the Psychedelic Science conference in Denver on Friday, Jaden also suggested that drug use had altered the dynamic he shares with his siblings Willow, 22, and Trey, 30.
The musician claimed: “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.”
After Pop Crave shared that Jada had reportedly introduced her Hollywood-famous family to drugs, many fans used the outlet’s Twitter thread to criticize her actions.
One person slammed: “Unserious family. She gotta be the worst mother in the world.”
“Why this family so weird. Like I’ve never seen one normal headline about them,” a second asked.
Another social media user blasted: “They’re so messy.”
“They are such a disgraced family. She is a horrible mother and wife,” a final commenter claimed.

PSYCHEDELIC SOLUTION?
Jada has been married to Will Smith, 54, since 1997, and admitted in a frank Red Table Talk session in 2020 that she’d had an affair with the musician August Alsina.
Last year, August claimed that Will gave him permission to have an affair with Jada, after Jaden introduced him to the couple in 2015.
While Jada and Will initially denied the cheating rumors, the actress later revealed that she had a romantic relationship with August when she and Will secretly separated in 2015.
In 2021, Will spoke to Oprah Winfrey about finding spiritual enlightenment after taking the drug ayahuasca more than 12 times.
He told Oprah: “It’s about being able to find that contentment within yourself — not with external stimuli.”
He continued: “The spiritual process is detoxing all of those things — not leaving your marriage so you can go get some chocolate cake. No. It’s no chocolate cake. It’s not alcohol. It’s no sexual stimulation and all of that… The spiritual process is more about detox than going to get more.”
Will revealed he went on a 14-day silent retreat in Peru and using plant-based psychedelic ayahuasca more than 12 times under supervision.
The Fresh Prince of Bel Air star also confessed that it wasn’t just Jada having extramarital affairs, but refused to go into detail.
Will claimed that the drug helped him question his marriage, and described in his book that his relationship was: “a fruitful interaction that is meant to feed the people around us…
“Whether I liked our interaction or not, I started feeling in my heart we were special together. We were condoned by the universe.”
