Jada Pinkett Smith sat down with her daughter, Willow Smith, and mother, Adrienne Banfield-Jones, 67, on Wednesday’s episode of “Red Table Talk” to discuss the difficulties for people struggling with addiction during the coronavirus pandemic. During the conversation, Smith, 48, commended her daughter for cutting back on smoking weed.
“Willow, I’m really proud of you as well, because you have decided to curb your excessive weed smoking,” she said.
The 19-year-old then told her mom that she had inspired her to quit.
“You always were telling me, you’d be like, ‘Gotta stop that smoking,’” Willow said, with Jada responding, “Only because as your mother, I could see the effects of it that you couldn’t.”
Adrienne, who is 30 years sober following a heroin addiction, agreed.
“For me, it was like with the history that we have in our family it was driving me crazy,” she said.
Willow explained that after stopping for 3 months, she realized that some of her friends only hung out with her because she smoked marijuana.
But she feels quitting has changed things for the better.
“I know it sounds so cheesy but around the time I stopped smoking I started doing a lot of yoga,” she said. “And I just excelled because I was putting all of my energy into that. Like I wasn’t doing anything else and I was like, wow, what if I was doing this with everything?”
She also added that she feels less anxious and she’s more productive.
Jada, and husband Will Smith, share Willow along with son, Jaden Smith, 21.
