It's not just cocaine in the White House — marijuana was found on two separate occasions in the executive mansion in the past year, the Secret Service told the Washington Examiner.
Marijuana was found in the executive mansion in July and September 2022, a spokesperson for the Secret Service confirmed to the Washington Examiner.

"Per the Secret Service Uniformed Division, small amounts of marijuana were found on two occasions in 2022 (June and September)," the spokesperson confirmed.
The Secret Service said the amount of marijuana discovered in both instances "did not meet the legal threshold" for criminal charges.
"No one was arrested in these incidents because the weight of the marijuana confiscated did not meet the legal threshold for federal charges or DC misdemeanor criminal charges as the District of Columbia had decriminalized possession. The marijuana was collected by officers and destroyed," the spokesperson added.
Federal charges for marijuana possession can result in up to one year in jail and as much as a $1,000 fine. In October 2022, President Joe Biden issued a proclamation giving a pardon to all people federally charged with simple possession charges for marijuana.
The revelation of marijuana at the White House comes the same day the Secret Service announced it had concluded its investigation into the July 2 discovery of cocaine in the West Wing of the executive mansion. The investigation did not name any suspects due to a "lack of physical evidence."

The cocaine was discovered by staff while Biden was away at Camp David prior to the Fourth of July holiday. The discovery prompted a brief evacuation of the West Wing.
When asked last week if the cocaine was linked to the Biden family, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre scolded reporters by suggesting it was "irresponsible" to ask because the Bidens were away from the White House when the cocaine was discovered.
