Johnny Depp’s recent trial comes to mind – he openly admitted to doing cocaine but as far as I’m aware no action was taken

There will be more nuances to this but in its essence it’s not a crime to have taken drugs in the past.
It is a crime to have a prohibited substance/drug in your possession or be under the influence of them in a public setting.
I’m making my own conclusions here but certain crimes will carry more weight after the fact.
Murder I believe doesn’t have a time limit for prosecution and if you admit to murder you’re getting arrested & investigated.
I don’t think the same would apply if I walked into a police station and told them I broke the speed limit last November.
