He told Variety: "It was K [ketamine]. I was getting liquid and cooking it. And I would do acid and shrooms [mushrooms] and whippets [nitrous oxide] and smoke weed all day and eat pills every day.
"It got scary because I didn’t feel high. I felt high when I wasn’t doing it, so I was like, this is a huge problem ...
"[My mom] told me her biggest fear was waking up one day to see on the news that something bad had happened to me. I reached a point where I couldn’t do that to her anymore."
Pete walked away from his TV series Bupkis and checked himself into rehab and he vowed to turn his life and career around.
