Jaden Smith -

The Smith family has always been alternative when it comes to lifestyle and parenting choices. Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith have close relationships with their kids, Jaden and Willow, and it seems like no topic is off the table. Jada Pinkett Smith has been open about her use of psychedelics as a successful part of her treatment for depression. Jaden Smith have spoken at the Psychedelic Science conference in Denver on June 23, explaining that her experiences slowly introduced the practice to 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 way," he explained. 

Jaden believes that taking psychedelics with his siblings, Willow and half-brother Trey Smith, has brought them much closer. "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," he explained. "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."

Jada Pinkett Smith -

Jada Pinkett Smith has spoken in detail about her use of psychedelics as an alternative therapy to treat depression. The actress and talk show host revealed that she had suffered from debilitating depression 10 years earlier that didn't respond to therapy or antidepressants. She was eventually introduced to plant therapy (magic mushrooms) and says it was a life-changing solution for her. "The thing about plant medicine is that not only does it help you feel better, it helps you solve the problems and how you got there in the first place." Smith clarified that it wasn't the same as getting high for recreational purposes. "You gotta want to do it. This is not play play. You have to be really willing to confront some hard stuff. It's changed my life."

Prince Harry -

Prince Harry's 2023 autobiography 'Spare' contains a number of mind-blowing revelations, but one of the most bizarre is that the royal once got high on mushrooms with Courteney Cox and various other celebrities while staying at her house in L.A. Harry writes that he was traveling in the US with a friend and was invited to stay at Cox's home. As a major 'Friends' fan the Prince was starstruck. "I was still confused because she was Monica, and I was a Chandler. I wondered if I’d ever work up the courage to tell her. Was there enough tequila in California to get me that brave?"

Later in the evening there was apparently a box of mushroom chocolates open on a table for everyone to share, so Harry and his friend "grabbed several, gobbled them, washed them down with tequila." As the psychedelics took effect, he became entranced by a pedal bin in the bathroom that started to look like a face. "I stepped on the pedal and the head opened its mouth," he writes. "A huge open grin. I laughed."

Kristen Bell -

Kristen Bell revealed that she tried magic mushrooms during an interview on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' "I had never really done any drugs and I wanted to try mushrooms for my 40th birthday," she explained. "So my husband got them for me and I tried it. And we told our kids about it." While Kristen Bell isn't the first celebrity you'd peg as a psychonaut, the decision to share her experience with her young children was what got people talking. Bell and her husband, Dax Shepard, have always stated their belief that honesty is the best policy for their kids. Apparently, it was all going fine, until Bell overheard her daughter telling her conservative grandmother all about it!

Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly -

Megan Fox previously revealed that she and fiancé Machine Gun Kelly visited Costa Rica for an authentic ayahuasca trip back in 2021. She spoke about her challenging experience with the hallucinogenic drug, describing it as her own "personal hell." Later, Machine Gun Kelly opened up about his own experience on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live.' He told Kimmel that he was the last person out of their group of 20 to be called up to take his cup from the shaman. As he stood before the group, the shaman spoke to the translator who told Kelly "Whew. She says you have a big shadow of darkness behind you. You need more." Not a great start! 

When asked about Fox's description of the trip as "hell," Kelly explained, "We were exercising some things out of us that we needed to get rid of. The plant was a medicine that really went inside, you could feel it working inside your body. Even after you left it stayed there. It was interesting." Although it sounded like a scary and challenging experience, he said it was "one of the most important things that happened" in his life.

Megan Fox - Megan Fox's description of the trip was a little more graphic! According to Fox, they went into the jungle with indigenous people and drank lemongrass tea with 20 strangers until they vomited everything out of their bodies, and then the real journey began with the ayahuasca tea consumed over three nights. Fox said the experience was akin to therapy but more enlightening, and certainly more challenging. "It just goes straight into your soul and takes you into your psychological prison you hold yourself in," she said. "It's your own version of hell. And I was definitely there." Despite that, she still encouraged others to try it for themselves.

Mike Tyson -

Perhaps nothing Mike Tyson does can truly surprise us anymore, but tripping on toad venom definitely comes close. “I ‘died’ during my first trip,” the former heavyweight champion told The New York Post at Wonderland, a Miami conference dedicated to psychedelics and medicine. He's referring to the Bufo alvarius toad whose venom can be smoked to produce a psychoactive experience. Still, Tyson said he tried it 53 times, because "In my trips, I’ve seen that death is beautiful,” he said. “Life and death both have to be beautiful, but death has a bad rep. The toad has taught me that I’m not going to be here forever. There’s an expiration date.” He added that tripping helped him with his low self-esteem, explaining, "The toad strips the ego."
