    He was not pardoned for any drug use or possession, but rather for gun charges and tax evasion.

      He was given immunity for any federal crime committed since 2014. That prolly includes some crack binges.

        Only if he did it in Washington DC, on federal land. If he was in Delaware or Maryland or any other state (not Native American Reservation) they were probably state level drug offenses.

          If I was the president’s son I’d be hammering down intoxicants on the whitehouse lawn regularly.

          What an amazing experience that would be. Beats acid on a golf course for sure.

        I don’t think he was ever arrested for it?

          Oh wait no right the ‘gun charge’ was for not disclosing he did crack on a form that’s riiiight. Next you’re going to tell me the gun charge wasn’t for concealed carry of a massive hog.

            He lied on the form, doesn’t matter why, it was a crime. He came to an agreement to plead guilty with the prosecution that was thrown out. If he were anyone other than the president’s son, it wouldn’t have been, and he is at personal risk from a justice department with no accountability or integrity and a mandate to punish the soon-to-be president’s political enemies, only because he is the soon-to-be-former president’s son.

            This has nothing to do with drugs.

            Complain to your congressman about your drug problems, the president has no authority to resolve them for you.

                    The president only has the power to pardon federal crimes. Your state level crimes are at the mercy of your governor. This is not a failure of action or policy on Joe Biden’s part, but a feature of the system of checks and balances within our government. Complain to your local legislature.

                He did a lot of great things for so many people. I’m sorry he didn’t make the trip out to kiss your butt specifically.

                What part of: “it’s the governors who need to do that, not the President” don’t you understand?

            Correct, that’s what the charge was for, lying on the gun form (also there’s one for tax evasion, but that’s not relevant here). The lie was about using crack, but the charge was for lying on the form, not for crack use.
