The cocaine found at the White House on July 2nd was discovered in an area of the West Wing around where visitors are told to place their cell phones, the Washington Post reported.

It's unclear who left the cocaine in the White House. According to the New York Times, the Secret Service is investigating the origins of the substance, which was deemed cocaine by a hazardous materials team following testing.

President Joe Biden and his family were at Camp David, a presidential retreat in Maryland, when the cocaine was discovered.

It's hardly the first time recreational drugs have entered White House grounds — country music legend Willie Nelson once smoked marijuana with the son of President Jimmy Carter on the building's roof. Additionally, rapper and marijuana enthusiast Snoop Dogg said he once smoked a joint in a White House bathroom.

Snoop Dogg also once protested the Trump Administration by smoking a blunt outside of the White House in 2018.

"I'm at the White House smoking," he said in a video. "F--- the president."
