“My son, like a lot of people … had a drug problem,” Joe Biden said during the debate. “He’s fixed it, he’s worked on it. And I’m proud of him. I’m proud of my son.”

’s up-close-and-personal experience with substance abuse disorder could indicate the potential for great changes in our country’s approach to this issue. Hunter’s experience with Ibogaine treatment could inspire more study for the potentially game-changing substance, which is currently illegal.

Having the son of the president represent the recovery community is a new paradigm. This wouldn’t be the president’s distant kin quietly slipping into a million-dollar rehab for 28 days. This would be the president’s son acknowledging that he is in recovery, that he has smoked crack and come out the other end of that indelibly narrow glass tunnel. Merely acknowledging the problem is profoundly meaningful — the first of the twelve steps.

Addiction is a realm where reform often comes from those who have been through it. If Hunter continues to wear the label of “addict” without shame, lending his experience and the experience of others in recovery to pertinent policy discussions, this could be a ray of optimism during bleak times for those in recovery. Especially now, when so many people are confronting one of the bleakest times in modern history.

Dark times are the perfect occasion for people struggling with addiction to relapse. For people with substance use disorder, both good and bad times can be opportunities to use — but utterly hopeless ones like these are especially tempting. Overdose deaths have increased in 40 states since the beginning of the pandemic, according to theTrump looks at addiction on the same strength/weakness binary through which he sees much of the world.

Joe Biden made my heart sing when he told POTUS45 he was proud of his veteran son's victory beating an addiction developed via the horror of war. JoeBiden was sincere and full of love, in the face of his opponent's unwarranted viciousness.

Good point. It’s got to be hard defending a crack head who married his brother’s widow and impregnated a stripper? Seems like a good dude

My favorite thing Biden said, thought it was incredible.

wow

Potential to defend other cokeheads, hearse chasers, and stripper-impregnators who are taking payoffs from Russian crime bosses? That the potential you are talking about?

What a BS article. Ahhh poor hunter, recovered addict who raked in millions from foreign countries. 🙄

WetBuzzardFart

Potential? You mean in the pockets of both Putin and Xi? Democrats always accuse others of what they are guilty.

Potential for what? His more corruption?

💩

Why RS r using JimCarrey pictures in this?

Yup. That was the moment he won the 2020 election.

Lol by lying?

He defended a drug induced traitor to the USA

Potential for what ?

Is potential code for penis? He’s being rather generous in the photo...

lol

FACTS MATTER look at the tape 1. Biden was the FIRST to interrupt Trump THREE TIMES (& Chris did nothing), but the left says Trump was rude? 2. Biden brought up his dead son just to attack Trump, but the left says Trump shouldn’t bring up Hunter? Media makes me sick

Drug policy long term is more important than the covid response

Bullshit. If SenKamalaHarris met hunter, is crack smoking ass would be in jail.

Because he will treat all addicts as he would his son? I don't see the leap you made from last nights debate and this article? It sounded like a commercial for an illegal 'game changing treatment' substance. Will it be covered by my health insurance?

It wasn't good for Trump to throw that in Bidens face about his son. But he still didn't answer the question on what the 3.5 million dollars to his son from Russia was for. So the questions remains.

Which was what? Get Russia to give a drug addict millions of dollars and a free job that hes not qualified for? How does this help him. I think this is called enabling which is not what you're supposed to do with any addict!

That was probably the only positive glimmer of hope there was in that debate. LyinDonny wouldn't let Biden get any policies or points of view out for us listeners to mull over.

😂😂😂

So what was Joe's excuse for the 8 years he served as VP? Donald Trump has left the legal cannabis markets alone and if I had to guess, I would tend to believe Donald Trump would be the one to reform any laws quicker than Biden.

Was that step 1 or 3? Because obviously he forgot step 2. 😂

Oh really? After HE was the one to write the law that locked up many Black men for what today would be minor 'less than an ounce' drug charges-sometimes for years!

Unfollow. Fuckin commies who rated with 2 stars back in black.

🤡🤡🤡🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣❗️

Yeah no it didn’t.

I hope and pray Biden wins this world can't survive another term of this psychotic man

is this for real

Dude is an old geezer, at this point he’s run out of potential and he simply is what he is.

Rolling Stone is a fucking joke

thankful for the article but needs to be proofed. Chris Wallace was the moderator not Chris Matthews, of* not if* in one of the sentences, etc. Glad to help. 👍

Potential of lying

We have become compliant with the chaos!! VoteHimOut

Potential for what Look the other way and. Make deals with other countries to take care of his baby with the sniffles?

His potential for what?! Lying and saying things that clearly DID happen are lies? Potential for not being able to remember what happened to his own son? Nice spin job

So how long are you gonna keep this post up that calls the moderator Chris Matthews instead of Chris Wallace?

Potential long gone here!

Biden came across so sincere. VoteBlueToEndThisNightmare

Can he get us all a high-paying job we aren't qualified for also?!?!
