A lot of people seem to hate him. I’m more indifferent. I don’t quite understand his appeal, like I don’t understand the appeal of the kardashians. At least he has a sense of humor.

dragonslayerbarbie Apr 23, 2026 +187

I was actually a fan of his until he went to Riyadh. He was the worst offender of all of them to me for playing that show since his dad literally died in 9/11.

Sandy-the-Gypsy777 Apr 23, 2026 +91

Totally agree. The one thing that stood out about him was the fact that he lost his firefighting dad in 9/11. Going there was equivalent to selling your soul.

Alternativesoundwave Apr 24, 2026 +4

Yeah lots of people died on 9/11 but didn’t get the cancer diagnosis until years later but died because of their actions on that day. Firefighters recovering people from the rubble exposed to all sorts of chemicals died that day and didn’t find out until later. But people should still count them among those that literally died on 9/11 even if they just figuratively died that day.

I’ve only ever seen him in The Suicide Squad and thought he was fine in that. Not like I’m being forced to watch anything else of his like how some people act

ughdrunkatvogue Apr 24, 2026 +8

A lot of men have a very specific idea of what kinda guy can date the type women that’s he’s been with - and to see someone like him be able to who isn’t their perfect ideal image of a man destroys their worldviews. I can’t even count how many “I don’t get it - why him??” comments i’ve seen and it’s like yeah, you don’t get it and no one’s asking you to. And then there’s SNL fans who can’t fathom why he became a breakout star despite not being particularly good at sketch comedy which makes them salty. Like sorry but he has charisma in spades and a big personality (you may not like his personality but he has one) and that’s what made him stand out. And some people find him annoying but it’s like what are you doing to put yourself in a position to be listening to or watching him? I don’t think i’ve heard or seen a video of him in years - and that’s without even trying. And if it’s just a headline that annoys you then I’m afraid you cannot be helped. Edit: I mean the “royal”you , not you specifically OP haha

Pete once entered rehab to smoke weed less. He even has a bit about it that is on Sirius too much. Dunno if he tried to do the Half Baked sketch, but yeah dude said he checked in to smoke less weed... Edit: I am sorry, addiction is addiction. I dont have weed legal anywhere so we dont have this

12

unfoldyourself Apr 23, 2026 +38

Weed isn’t a dangerous drug and I’m very much for legalizing it, but for certain people it can be very hard to quit. I’ve spent over a decade trying to quit it, gone to endless 12-step meetings and tried plenty of things, and it’s still hard. Currently on Day 154, but it’s a struggle. And people roll their eyes at you when you mention that’s your issue. If he can afford rehab, good for him and I won’t judge him for it.

38

Automatic_Soil9814 Apr 23, 2026 +12

You are absolutely right. People don’t take it seriously but it’s really difficult to give up. Just because you’re not physically dependent on it doesn’t mean it’s not an addiction.

12

Sleepingguitarman Apr 23, 2026 +11

You can absolutely develop a physical dependence to weed, and experience physical withdrawal symptoms when quitting. I feel like no physicsl dependence or physical wd's is weeds biggest misconception.

Thanks, I didn’t think you meant anything bad but some people kind of look down at it. FYI to anyone who’s struggling, r/leaves is a good community to post or lurk on, and also Marijuana Anonymous is a real thing and almost everyone in it is cool, they have online meetings over zoom and some in person depending on where you live. I have some issues with 12 step groups, but MA is often the best case scenario.

MandatorySaxSolo Apr 23, 2026 +3

CaylaMarieArmstrong Apr 23, 2026 +2

Thank you for sharing this. I’m on day 4 after 10+ years of smoking all day, every day. I’m not a huge Pete fan, but absolutely empathize with his struggles of staying sober regardless the drug. If he or I used hard drugs or alcohol like we did weed, we’d be labeled junkies or possibly dead. But when it’s weed everybody acts like you’re crazy for saying there may be an issue.

2

unfoldyourself Apr 23, 2026 -1

Congratulations, not to drop a ton of cliches but just don’t get stoned today, and then keep doing it a day at a time. Quitting forever is hard to think about, but I can absolutely get through today without it. My biggest tip that’s been really helpful for me, is that because I know I can’t control it, when I think about smoking I don’t ask myself if I want to go get stoned. Instead, I ask myself if I want to go start getting stoned all day, every day 24/7/365 again, because that’s what I’m really asking myself and that’s what happens when I left myself smoke a little.

-1

CaylaMarieArmstrong Apr 23, 2026 +1

Thanks for your reply. I’m definitely in the same boat - I can’t just ween off or limit it, and if I have it in the house, I’ll smoke it. Or worse, I know I have it, so it’s all I’m thinking about all day until I can smoke. So much easier once I got rid of all my paraphernalia and stopped keeping any in the house. Finally getting appetite and some energy back. First 3 days were miserable. Best of luck on your continued journey!

BaltimoreGuy410 Apr 23, 2026 +1

Thats interesting. Were you addicted to other drugs as well?

1

Sleepingguitarman Apr 23, 2026 +1

In the past yes, but during the time i went just for weed i was only dependent on weed (other then my prescribed medications which i was administered at the facility). I know it sounds a bit silly, but i genuinely would get relatively rough withdrawals from weed. I had been using marijuana for a long time, in heavy, frequent amounts though. Before i went in i was dabbing 3.5-5 grams of wax a day, along with smoking some regular flower. Withdrawals weren't anything like benzos/gabaergic substance withdrawals obviously, which is what the bulk of my withdrawal experiences were with, but they were still abnormally bad for weed. My symptoms would be a significant rise in heart rate / blood pressure, constant sweating, nasuea/vomiting, hard to sleep, frequent diarrhea, lack of appetite / couldn't eat for the first few days, and heightened anxiety in some situations. These symptoms would typically be the worst on days 2-4, before tapering off across the following few days. Worst symptoms were definitely the heart rate / bp spike though. Even with them giving me clonidine and propranalol 3 times a day, my resting heart rate would average about 145-150 across the first few days, and could jump up to about 165 if i was feeling some anxiety. Funny thing is that one of the reasons i quit was because weed started to make me anxious and would make my heart rate increase.

Sleepingguitarman Apr 23, 2026 +2

Haha no problem, and thank you for not diminishing/judging my experience! Seems like sometimes when i share i usually get a few people who try and say im lying or that it was just psychological. I know my experience is atypical, but i think alot of people are under the impression that it's impossible for weed to cause physical dependence or that one can get physical withdrawal effects. I hope you have a great rest of your day my friend!

BaltimoreGuy410 Apr 23, 2026 +1

I’ve only seen people (teens) sent to rehab for essentially weed. I definitely believe people have gone for it, I’ve just never met anyone, but I know plenty of addicted and alcoholics who have gone to treatment. Glad it helped you. That’s all that matters. Reminds me of the scene from Half Baked lol

Pete, maybe I’m not very familiar with your early work but I’ll try to help you out with what I remember about you. You said some stuff that made people laugh, or not laugh. You did some tours. You did SNL, though I didn’t see much of it as an old guy. And you seemed to stick your wiener in a lot of attractive-ish (depending on who you talk to) women. Sometimes you struck me as a sad person.

It seems like he has always been a really nice guy that is easy to be around, even when he wasn't doing very well for himself. You can get a lot of opportunities in your life just by being around and being easy to work with. Pete is a great example of this, because at no point has he ever been funny, so you know there must be other reasons for his success.
