In a heartfelt revelation at his "Pete Davidson: Rehab Tour" in Atlantic City, comedian Pete Davidson confessed that he still cannot quit using marijuana, despite his decision to give up other drugs following a stint in rehab last summer. The 30-year-old comedian shared with the audience that weed is the only substance he hasn't given up, as reported by the Daily Mail.
During his performance, Davidson openly discussed his history of substance abuse, including his use of cocaine, ketamine, and various pills. Reflecting on his past struggles, he expressed that marijuana was the last remaining indulgence he held onto. "It's all I have left," he confessed, indicating that he was holding on to it, but acknowledging that his dependence on it would soon come to an end.
Davidson previously disclosed his long-term use of ketamine, a dissociative drug, as a daily anesthetic for four years before seeking help in rehab in June 2023. At a comedy show in September, he lightheartedly described the experience as "magical," mentioning an instance when he combined the children's band The Wiggles with the somber film "Schindler's List."
The "Meet Cute" star's decision to enter rehab last summer was driven by his battles with drug use and mental health issues. According to a source close to Davidson, his friends and family have been supportive throughout his journey and he frequently checks himself into rehab to work on these challenges.
The catalyst for his rehab stint came after an unfortunate car crash in March 2023 involving his then-girlfriend Chase Sui Wonders. Reports state that Davidson was driving his Mercedes-Benz at a high speed of "100 miles per hour" in a Beverly Hills neighborhood when he lost control, jumped a curb, and collided with a fire hydrant before crashing into a house garage. Beverly Hills police confirmed the accident and the damage caused to city property.
During his recent comedy show, Davidson addressed the incident, noting that the charges against him had been dropped. Reflecting on the situation, he candidly admitted his mistake and expressed a lack of enthusiasm for celebrating the dropped charges. He humorously recounted his thought process during the crash, explaining that he aimed for the garage, thinking it would be less dangerous than hitting the house directly.
To resolve his legal issues, Davidson revealed that he was required to complete 50 hours of community service, attend a safe driving course, and visit a hospital and morgue. While discussing this, he expressed his dissatisfaction with the judge's decision, deeming it "f - - ked up" and jokingly suggesting that spending a day in jail would have been easier.
Pete Davidson's journey towards sobriety and his candid discussions about his struggles continue to resonate with audiences. As he navigates the challenges of addiction and mental health, his vulnerability serves as a reminder that seeking help and embracing personal growth are essential steps towards recovery.
