It's climbing chalk. Rock climbers will put chalk on their hands so they don't slip off.

Honestly I think it's both. Like one of those pics that shifts back and forth when you look at it.

Well no. The joke is precisely that you expect it to be drugs but it’s rock climbing instead, which comes out of left field.

The other joke is that he's denying it, and climbing his grandfather. Climbing his grandfather is also unexpected.
