Hunter detailed his &#8220;next-level&#8221; addiction to crack cocaine in his recently published <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/politics\/hunter-biden-book-review\/\">memoir<\/a>, <em>Beautiful Things<\/em>. The late Jim Morrison &#8220;was a fucking piker compared to my shenanigans,&#8221; he boasted.<\/p>\n<p>A mediocre author at best, Hunter is at his most eloquent when describing his love of smoking crack.\u00a0&#8220;The sensation is one of utter, almost otherworldly well-being,&#8221; he writes. &#8220;You are at once energetic, focused, and calm. Blood rushes to every extremity; your skin ripples with what feels like bumblebees.&#8221; That first hit of the pipe is like &#8220;being transported\u2014at something like warp speed, as if riding bareback on a rocket ship\u2014to some far-off, beautiful place.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Hunter is also a fan of powder cocaine. In <em>Beautiful Things<\/em>, he recounts using it in Monte Carlo during a Burisma board retreat. The controversial Ukrainian energy firm paid him up to $50,000 a month for the privilege of putting his name on corporate documents, enabling his addiction to crack, which will always be his drug of choice.<\/p>\n<p>Given his family name and political affiliation, the First Son is unlikely to face any legal consequences for his &#8220;nonstop depravity.&#8221; But the new legislation would ensure, at least in theory, that Hunter would be treated more leniently if charged with a future crack cocaine-related offense.<\/p>\n<p>President Biden&#8217;s support for the legislation, called the &#8220;Eliminating a Quantifiably Unjust Application of the Law Act,&#8221; is consistent with his campaign pledge to eliminate the sentencing disparity between crack and powder cocaine. Yet it is Biden, as a U.S. senator in 1986, who authored the legislation that created the disparity by imposing a minimum five-year sentence for trafficking in 500 grams of powder cocaine or just 5 grams of crack cocaine.<\/p>\n<p>Hunter Biden, who is allegedly in recovery, is pursuing a career as an artist in California, where he rents a $5.4 million mansion. He is planning an art exhibition this fall in New York, where &#8220;confidential&#8221; buyers will be able to buy his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxbusiness.com\/politics\/hunter-biden-art-selling-500k\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">paintings<\/a> for as much as $500,000 each. Meanwhile, the First Son is still &#8220;working to unwind&#8221; his 10 percent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/hunter-biden-still-working-to-unwind-investment-in-chinese-firm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">stake<\/a> in a shadowy Chinese investment firm.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Satire Bill would eliminate disparity between powder cocaine and crack offenses   Andrew Stiles \u2022 June 22, 2021 4:30 pm President Joe Biden&#8217;s administration on &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":2281018,"comment_status":"close","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/biden-hunter-736x510-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"Joe Biden Endorses Drug Sentencing Reform That Would Benefit Hunter","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-570855","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/biden-hunter-736x510-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"Joe Biden Endorses Drug Sentencing Reform That Would Benefit Hunter","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/570855","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=570855"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/570855\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2281018"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=570855"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=570855"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=570855"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
