I wouldn't be surprised if he were on it. Or something else, or nothing.
To me it's pretty irrelevant. If people believe that the use of cognitive enhancers is cheating or unusual in any walk of life, then they are horribly naive. I'd be shocked if less than 30 percent of all public-speaking politicians don't at least take something intermittently. Hell, I work behind a computer most of the day and almost half of the people in my work group are on Provigil or Adderall. A couple get TRT as well.
These types of non-street drugs are in damn near every profession in the country, maybe on the industrialized planet. Are we to believe that people with egos like presidents and the power to get anything aren't getting in on it?
It is rather depressing if that many people in your circle need drugs to be productive at work, but I suppose others abuse different drugs as well in their lives.
I think the issue many have is that in daily life Joe Biden in mentally and physically enfeebled, and accepted by the left as fine to run the country. He only gets juiced up for a 90 minute spot on TV. The rest of the time he is as mentally fit as a jar of apple sauce. If he were "juiced up Joe" all the time, I do not think there would be much of an issue.
But the left has no issue with his mental liabilities, addressing who really is in charge, and preventing the man from being further abused and robbed of his dignity on a world stage. I think it is because a number of people have immense power with a muppet like Joe Biden being placed out there, as opposed to a candidate who has full control of their faculties.
Amazingly disgusting and corrupt when you think about it.
