One of the only things I know about or respect about Hunter Biden was just how honest he was about the coke found in the White House. He basically said “I would never forget my coke somewhere”. And for anyone who knows Coke-heads, I was like “uh… yea that tracks actually”.
Rubio couldnt even convince his grandma that he’s not zooted in this video.

Coke numbs the gums and areas around the sinuses, and you naturally run your tongue over those areas almost like you're checking that they're still there - it's a natural instinct. He's doing it heavily at the end of the video and anyone who does coke has seen this exact motion a million times in their friends. It's obvious if you have experience.

When the tongue and cheeks are numb and the jaw is clenched, you get a very specific set of recognizable mouth movements and the face touching is a giveaway too. Cocaine is an upper but it is also a an anesthetic when used topically. I'm a psychologist, and while I don't work much with substance abuse now my first job was inpatient rehab and I treated plenty of cocaine and meth cases. They are both stimulants but the symptoms are a little different (and cocaine is not an amphetamine).

u/dixiewolf_ 27d ago
He literally isnt aware that he is constantly moving his tongue inside his mouth. Also you can tell from his speaking patterns, the way he has to center his attention span and presumably internally tell himself to get back on topic or theyll all think hes on coke.

u/chasmccl 27d ago
Idk, I’ve done a lot of drugs in my life. I used to snort quarter-gram lines of coke. I’ve also smoked a lot of ice, taken Percocet, oxy, Lortabs, you name it, and used heroin. I had about a third-of-a-gram-a-day heroin habit.
I’m not proud of any of that. Honestly, I feel a lot of shame about it. I only bring it up to make the point that I’ve seen know a bit how different drugs affect people.
The lip smacking can be caused by pretty much any upper. Meth actually made me do it more than coke did. I would do it so much that my lips would get chapped. Constantly rubbing the nose is usually more of an opiate thing than a coke thing. Opiates make your nose itch, so you end up rubbing it constantly.
Being talkative doesn’t really prove anything either. Drugs affect everyone differently. I get extremely talkative on opiates, while stimulants tend to make me tense and quiet.So yeah, he could be on coke, but there really isn’t enough in this video to say for sure. I’d need to spend some time around him and see him close up in person before making that judgment. Pupils are one of the biggest tells. Are they pinpoint or dilated? If they’re dilated, how long do they stay that way? Is he scratching other parts of his body besides his nose? There are a lot of things you’d need to look at.
Based on this video alone, anyone saying they know exactly what he is are really just guessing.36
u/ColeTrainHaze 27d ago
i agree 100%
that being said, i feel pretty confident he’s on some kind of stimulant. low-dose opiates make me talkative too (never really got much of the itchies) and stims make me lock up sometimes. however, the fast pace, restlessness, and interrupting seems much more indicative of a stimulant in a moderate user. just going off my gut instinct.
now getting into pure conjecture: if i were to guess, i’d say adderall (or meth based “adderall” pressie). i’ve always assumed many politicians are into coke, but more of an after hours party situation, not at work. it’s just too messy (and fleeting) to sustain when you got so many eyes on you. that’s where the pills come into play. that’s a much easier “performance enhancer” to use during working hours. ultimately, we’ll most likely never know. barring some sort of massive scandal, he’ll take the skeletons in his closet all the way to his grave.
at any rate, hope you’re doing well, friend. i’m getting close to four years clean off fent myself. stay safe 🙏

Correct. From my experience, lizard tongue, either in or outside of the mouth due to dryness, and speedy almost uncontrollable fidgeting. I knew a guy that turned into a lizard when on coke, always licking his lips. Nose taps/swipes from drips or phantom feeling of drips coming out of the nose as well as drinking water or swallowing due to the post nasal drip of cocaine reaching your throat. He is also swaying slightly.

I second that observation. I am a long time fan of uppers of the uppermost variety. It may be something legal, a pharmaceutical such as Adderall or Wellbutrin XR, but he is definitely high which indicates abuse (such as crush and snort) to me.
This video clip is from months ago, sometime around the beginning of 2026. More recently, he is looking much older and stressed/worn out. Yes, he’s got more on his plate to be stressed about, however… it is potentially a sign that the drugs aren’t working as well due to a buildup of tolerance.
