Pete Davidson Opens Up About Struggles With Substance Use

Pete Davidson recently opened up about his struggles with substance abuse during his 'Pete Davidson: Rehab Tour' in Atlantic City. The comedian revealed that while he has managed to get clean from various substances, he still relies on marijuana, stating, 'It’s all I have left.' Davidson shared his past experiences with cocaine, ketamine, and pills, emphasizing that he is holding on to weed for a little longer.

In August 2023, it was disclosed that Davidson had used ketamine to address his depression following a stint in rehab for PTSD and borderline personality disorder. Sources indicated that Davidson regularly seeks rehab for mental breaks and self-improvement.

The actor, who lost his father in the 9/11 attacks, understands the importance of taking breaks to focus on his well-being and manage his PTSD. Davidson's decision to seek help was reinforced by a car accident he was involved in with his then-girlfriend earlier in the year.

Despite the challenges he faced, Davidson humorously recounted the incident to his audience, expressing relief that the charges against him had been dropped. He acknowledged his initial fear of potential legal consequences but ultimately completed community service hours and a safe driving course as part of his punishment.

Reflecting on the events of the year, Davidson admitted that despite setbacks, he is having a positive year overall. His candid revelations shed light on his ongoing journey towards recovery and self-improvement.
