Jaden Smith dropped a bombshell at the Psychedelic Science conference in Denver, and boy, did it get the gossip mill spinning! The 24-year-old son of Will and Jada Pinkett Smith revealed that psychedelics—yep, those magical little mind-benders—helped him confront trauma and ultimately lose his “sense of ego.” This revelation was like tossing a match into a fireworks factory, reigniting the age-old debates about the Smith family’s parenting style.
Jaden didn’t hold back, saying it was his mother, Jada, who opened his eyes to the “powers” of psychedelics. It’s no secret the Smiths have dabbled in hallucinogens; after all, Jada hinted at it back in a November 2021 interview. She claimed they discussed their shared psychedelic journeys as if they were swapping cookie recipes! However, with many doctors still raising eyebrows at the idea of using psychedelics, especially when they’re illegal in most places, the public was left wondering: Is this parenting gone wild, or is it a brave step into modern healing?
But wait, the drama doesn’t stop there. Flashback to 2019: Jaden’s parents were so worried about their son’s alarming weight loss that they staged a full-on intervention. Jada confessed on Red Table Talk, “Will and I had a bit of an intervention with Jaden because he was wasting away.” Imagine the Smiths sitting him down like they were about to deliver the ultimate truth bomb.
It was serious business! Jaden was a vegan, but his diet wasn’t cutting it, and his parents were seeing red flags—like dark circles under his eyes and a grayish tint to his skin. Not precisely the glow of health!
Jaden admitted he was munching on just “two meals a day.” Talk about a not-so-healthy lifestyle! The poor kid barely kept it together, looking like he’d stepped out of a post-apocalyptic movie. So, the family swooped in, and the intervention became a turning point. Jaden started working with doctors to get his health back on track, saying, “I was able to work with the doctors and get my vitamins and get my supplements.”
And guess what? It worked! Jaden packed 10 pounds of muscle, transforming himself from “bones” to buff. You’d think that would silence the critics, but nope! He took to social media, criticizing haters who keep dredging up those old, skinny pics. “Haters will post the one on the left and ignore the one on the right,” he lamented, alluding to a side-by-side shot from Coachella 2019.
Jaden’s candidness opens a window into the wild ride of navigating mental health and personal growth in the spotlight’s glare. His revelations—whether about psychedelics or family interventions—spark crucial conversations about love, healing, and the sometimes bizarre paths we tread to find ourselves. As he continues to carve his niche, one thing’s for sure: the Smith saga is anything but boring, and the debates will keep raging like wildfire on a hot summer day!
