Pete Davidson reveals which drug he ‘can’t quit’ after going to rehab: ‘It’s all I have left’

Pete Davidson is done using drugs — with one exception.
The 30-year-old comedian said at his “Pete Davidson: Rehab Tour” in Atlantic City Saturday that he “can’t quit” weed, following his stint in rehab last summer.
“It’s all I have left,” he said about marijuana, according to the Daily Mail .
“I did coke and ketamine and f – – king all the pills and all that s – – t,” he added. “All I have is weed left, so it’s almost over, but I’m holding on for a little bit longer.”
“It was magical,” he said at a comedy show in September. “One time I got the Wiggles to mesh with ‘Schindler’s List.’ “
Davidson also joked, “I got that post-rehab glow. Seventh time’s the charm!”
The “Meet Cute” star checked into rehab last summer after struggling with drug use and mental health issues.
“Pete will often check himself into rehab to work on these issues,” a source told People at the time. “His friends and family have been supportive during this time.”
The decision came after Davidson was involved in a car crash in March 2023 with his then-girlfriend Chase Sui Wonders.
He was reportedly driving his Mercedes-Benz “100 miles per hour ” in a Beverly Hills neighborhood when he jumped a curb, ran down a fire hydrant and slammed into the garage of a home.
Beverly Hills police confirmed to The Post that the car crash occurred and damaged city property — the fire hydrant — and that reports including Davidson’s involvement were accurate.
“Hooray? I guess. I did something bad. It’s not anything really to be celebrated,” he said to the crowd.
He went on, “I saw the house and I was like, ‘I don’t think you could die if you hit a house.’ Usually in sitcoms they just go right through it. So, I swerved and I aimed for the house and I actually hit the garage pretty good. Even at my worst, I’m pretty f – – king spot on.”
“The cop came. He was all pissed because I drove into a structure,” he recalled. “I was freaking out, and I had to calm myself down.”
The “Bodies Bodies Bodies” actor said he had to complete 50 hours of community service and a safe driving course, as well as visit a hospital and morgue, to get his charges dropped.
He thought it was “f – – ked up” of the judge to make him do those things.
“I was like, ‘Can I just go to jail for a day? It seems like six weeks of work,’ ” he said at his show.
