Jada Pinkett Smith introduced her son Jaden Smith to psychedelic drugs to help him overcome his anxiety and depression. She believes psychedelic drugs can assist mental wellness when taken responsibly and accompanied by integration and therapy.

• Jaden has dealt with issues with anxiety and depression since he was a young teenager. He struggled with self-confidence, identity, and purpose.

• Jada says she wanted to help him heal and introduced him to spiritual disciplines like meditation and other methods like psychedelics under professional supervision.

• Jada says the goal was never to encourage mind alteration but to provide an internal experience that may help Jaden reach a deeper place of openness, ironically also self-reflection and ultimately psychological well-being.

• Jaden says the psychedelic experiences, along with therapy and meditation, have been life changing. They allowed him to see his anxiety and depression from a new perspective and feel a deeper connection to himself and the universe.

• While Jada’s methods may be unconventional, her priority seems to be helping her son cope with mental health issues and find healing in whatever healthy ways possible.
