Pete Davidson details his drug binge before entering rehab and quitting his TV show

In a recent interview, Pete Davidson opened up about an intense phase of substance abuse that included daily consumption of pills, acid, mushrooms, whippets, and marijuana, as well as the preparation of liquid ketamine at home. He explained that the high ceased to feel rewarding, prompting a crisis point. A FaceTime conversation with his mother, Amy, who expressed fear of seeing him harmed on the news, was the catalyst for his decision to check into a rehab center.

During this period he also walked away from the Peacock comedy series "Bupkis," despite its renewal, citing his role in perpetuating invasive media coverage of his life. Davidson emphasized that this rehabilitation effort was his most committed, noting he now drinks only a few beers annually and has not used hard drugs for two to three years, with marijuana being the hardest habit to drop. The birth of his daughter, Scottie, with ex-girlfriend Elsie Hewitt, has further motivated him to maintain sobriety and be a stable presence for his child.
