Jada added, “I told everybody that I must have had old medication in a vitamin bottle” while onset of the Nutty Professor.
She said that moment was a turning point for her and she quit “cold turkey” the following day.

Willow Smith shared that she still plans to smoke marijuana despite her mother’s personal experience, to which Jada Pinkett Smith responded, “That’s why you have to trust the eyes around you. Because you won’t know. And that was the thing with me. Don’t think that people didn’t try to tap me on my shoulder.”
