Great job with the museum! I think it is important for everyone to have an understanding about drugs, and the things they support, and what they can do to you. I think everyone should come here, and I will recommend it to all of my friends.

I ENJOYED MYSELF TODAY. THE MUSEUM HAD A GOOD AMOUNT OF ARTIFACTS AND DISPLAYS TO SHOW HOW MUCH OF THE WORLD IS REVOLVED AROUND DRUG TRADE. I THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD IDEA THAT YOU PUT PARTS FROM THE WORLD TRADE CENTER AND OF THE PENTAGON IN THIS MUSEUM.

NICE JOB ON THE MUESEUM. IT REALLY HITS PEOPLE WHERE IT'S SUPPOSED TO. I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD HAVE PEOPLE LIKE RAP STARS, ACTORS AND MANY OTHERS SHOWING-OFF BECAUSE THEY DO DRUGS. I MEAN, WHOEVER DECIDED DRUGS WHERE "COOL"?

Matt McDonald

I think that the main problem with drugs is that people don't understand that the law is here to protect you. People are so dead set on breaking the rules that they don't care wether or not it is a good law.

I learned a lot today about drugs, trafficing, terrorism, and prevention of this continous process on a day-to-day basis. Everyone should come to the DEA museum to become more educated on drugs and to better those around you with the information I gained.

This exhibit presents, for the first time, the facts about the connections between drugs and terrorism for the American people. The exhibit opens with the bloodiest act of terrorism, September 11th, and stretches back to the violent drug trade on Asia's Silk Road, spanning some 2,000 years and 40 countries.
