Comedian and actor Pete Davidson recently made headlines when he candidly shared his experiences with daily ketamine use and his journey through rehab during a comedy performance. Ketamine, a powerful anesthetic known for its sedative properties, is also FDA-approved for treating depression. Davidson, known for his roles on “Saturday Night Live” and in films like “The King of Staten Island,” discussed his drug use and the importance of leaving such habits behind as he approaches his 30th birthday.
Speaking to an audience at Atlantic City’s Hard Rock Hotel & Casino’s Ettes Arena, Davidson humorously announced, “I am fresh out of rehab, everyone. I got that post-rehab glow. The seventh time’s the charm!” The comedian openly acknowledged that he had been using ketamine daily for four years, describing the drug as “magical.”
As he reflected on his age and maturity, Davidson emphasized the need to break free from destructive habits. He humorously remarked, “You can’t do drugs in your 30s. It’s not cute anymore… you’re just a drug addict.” This revelation sheds light on the challenges and personal growth Davidson has undergone in addressing his substance use.
Davidson’s story serves as a reminder of the importance of seeking help and making positive changes when battling addiction, regardless of one’s public image or career status.
