Hunter Biden’s wife Melissa Cohen has been spotted dropping by a cannabis dispensary in Malibu after running errands at Whole Foods and CVS.
Cohen, 35, was spotted on her shopping run Wednesday, and was escorted by a Secret Service protective agent as she ran her errands.
After picking up bananas and a pack of Kor wellness shots — a Malibu-based health drink — at Whole Foods, Cohen dropped by the 99 High Tide dispensary on the Pacific Coast Highway, where she was spotted leaving with a small unidentified purchase.
California is one of 19 US states where recreational weed is legal, and the 99 High Tide shop offers a wide array of pre-rolled joints, vape cartridges, edibles and loose flowers, according to the company’s website.
The sighting seems to confirm that President Joe Biden’s son Hunter and his family remain based in the area, just days after DailyMail.com revealed that they had moved out of their rented $20,000-per-month Malibu home.

On her shopping run Wednesday, Cohen was sporting a pink floral summer dress and flowing black cardigan, paired with simple black pumps and chunky black-framed shades.
She also made a stop at CVS, where she was seen picking up paper towels and other household items.
The Secret Service agent on her protection detail remained close at hand as she made her shopping rounds. All immediate members of the sitting president’s family, including adult children and their families, are afforded such protection as a matter of routine.
Cohen, a South African filmmaker, married Hunter in 2019, and the couple share a young son together, named Beau after Hunter’s late brother.
Hunter has struggled with drug and alcohol addiction for much of his life, as he has detailed in his recent biography, but now says he is in recovery as he pursues a career as an artist.

DailyMail.com revealed that Hunter has moved out of his rented Malibu home (right) and on to another property. His family had been renting the home for $20,000-a-month while their Secret Service detail rented a neighboring home for $30,000
He and Cohen first moved to Malibu a year ago, after moving to the exclusive enclave from a $20,000-a-month rented mansion in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Venice.
But DailyMail.com revealed on Wednesday that the Malibu mansion Hunter had been renting was back on the market, after the family apparently moved to another home in the area.
Secret Service officers were still seen this week stationed at the six-bed Spanish-style estate next door to Hunter’s vacated Malibu home.
The USSS rented the neighboring property to house the First Son’s protection team for $30,000 per month.
The 3,000 square foot Malibu home featured an open floor plan with solid oak floors and 180-degree views of the Pacific. The three-car garage was converted into a studio where Biden goes to paint every morning.
The property has a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, an indoor-outdoor living room with pocket doors and a great room with a vaulted ceiling.

Its 0.7-acre lot features a pool, hot tub, stone patio and built-in barbecue.
His secret service detail snagged a $30,000-per-month ‘Spanish-style estate’ of their own next door to Hunter’s, with six bedrooms and six bathrooms, and amenities including a gym, tasting room, pool, barbecue and a spa.
Meanwhile, Hunter’s former neighbors in Venice are lamenting his departure a year ago, saying that without the constant Secret Service presence, the area has once again become filled with sidewalk homeless encampments.
‘As homeowners in Venice, our neighbors have struggled with the out of control homelessness that has made our streets and neighborhoods unsafe,’ said Ann McElhinney, who has a home down the street from Hunter’s old condo.
‘When Hunter moved into the neighborhood, his street was immediately cleared of the homeless. The minute he moved up to Malibu, his old street in Venice became a tent city. How is this fair to Venice homeowners?’ she said.
‘It just shows how the Biden’s truly live a different life from the rest of us.’
