Pete Davidson has always been candid about his struggles with substance abuse. The 30-year-old actor and comedian has openly discussed his drug and alcohol use and has made multiple attempts to get clean and sober. However, during the latest stop on his Pete Davidson: Rehab Tour, he revealed there’s one drug he still can’t let go of—weed.
“I can’t quit [weed] yet. It’s all I have left,” Pete shared with the audience in Atlantic City, New Jersey on Saturday (July 20), according to The Daily Mail. Despite his efforts to kick other substances, marijuana remains a constant in his life.
Pete didn’t shy away from discussing his past with other, more dangerous drugs. “I did coke and ketamine and f–king all the pills and all that s–t,” he admitted. His struggle with these substances has been long and public, but he insists that marijuana is different for him. “All I have is weed left, so it’s almost over, but I’m holding on for a little bit longer,” he explained, hinting at a future where he might eventually quit it too.
His ongoing relationship with weed is a stark contrast to his history with harder drugs. During a comedy show back in September 2023, Pete confirmed that he was “fresh out of rehab” and revealed that he had been using ketamine daily for four years. “It was magical,” Pete said about the drug’s mind-altering effects. He even humorously recalled, “One time, I got The Wiggles to mesh with Schindler’s List.”
Pete’s battle with addiction has been a tumultuous journey, marked by multiple stints in rehab. His openness about these experiences has been both refreshing and alarming, providing a raw look into the life of someone grappling with addiction. His candor has also highlighted the challenges many people face when trying to overcome substance abuse.
Despite his ongoing use of marijuana, Pete’s progress is notable. Transitioning from a daily user of ketamine and other hard drugs to only using weed is a significant change. His willingness to discuss these issues publicly also sheds light on the complexities of addiction and recovery.
