Psychedelic drugs have been far from taboo in the Smith household.
like Prozac inspired his use of psychedelics. He started using it out of curiosity, and doing so led to his understanding of what ego was"for the first time."
"It was always in my head talking, telling me what I was and what I wasn't," the actor said, sharing that he experienced ego dissolution for the first time -- an ecstatic state in which self-identity is completely lost. Jaden continued,"That was the moment that really changed me. You get to a place where you are blocked by something, whether it's a trauma or your emotions or ego, not being able to express yourself. Psychedelics are a way to tear down that wall and see what is beyond it. Doing it guided with people who are professionals really increases the chances of having that mystical experience.
Since psychedelics are still illegal, it's important to be guided by a professional while taking psychedelics, which Jada agreed is the only way some people can feel safe enough to leave themselves in such a vulnerable position. "You have to really wanna do it, this is not for play," she added."You have to be willing to confront some hard stuff. It is very healing and it has changed my life."
