Drugs are taking over the world and there is stuff we can do to prevent it!
In the Md. Story I had no idea how many drugs came through here...DEA has a very powerful message! Thanks!

WOW! All of you should see this!
Don't do drugs kids!
If you have an older friend and they take pills... don't be a follower!
Wow! A lot of people die from drugs!
Museums should probably do more stuff like this to help people connect to biology, psychology, current events and international problems to personal experiences! Very cool & informative!

This exhibit is truly something unique. It gives us a glimpse of the very real drug epidemic in America. There's faces put to these stories that we always hear about, but it's all real!
This is so cool...I learned a lot!
I see a lot of drugs in college; however, I stay away from them...you should do the same. Trust me!
Heroin took my uncle's life & is about to take my sister's. I'm glad this exhibit exists because people need to know the dangers of drugs before it is too late & they submit to their addictions!
Such a fantastic exhibit!
very disturbing and powerful.
Amazing how many innocent children are involved in the irresponsible behavior of their parents. I pray they get the help they need to lead a better life for their loved ones and themselves.

It's really devastating how many people have died from drug addiction and drug abuse. What's even worse is that young, innocent kids were dragged into the trafficking business.

It provided a great way to continue our discussions with our two daughters who are 10 & 12! Thank you!

I learned about how drugs can be used to hurt people and how we can help people get rid of drugs. I hope we get rid of them soon!

Drugs are scary and not good for people SO DON'T START, OR STOP DOING DRUGS IF YOU'RE ON THEM!
When I was going through the exhibit my mom and my best friend (12) we were both very shocked on how drugs affect anyone.
Bringing my 13 year old and I was able to answer a lot of questions.
Drugs-the stuff is crap! Don't do it kids!
Enjoyed it!
EXHIBIT WELL DONE!
Resist drugs! You can do it!
Great exhibit. Thanks!
IT KILLS WHY DO IT THEN?
I'm sorry I was scared but at the same time it was very educational.
Thanks for all the pamphlets!
You should have at least one night that this exhibit is free to the public considering the high drug use in Baltimore (and given that most drug users would probably otherwise not afford/choose to spend their money on coming here).
Great job!!! Drugs: Costs & Consequences and the DEA foundation has put together a real wake up call for everyone. Everyone that takes the tour will have a better understanding of the problems and work together to support our war on drugs. Education is the key to win
Very informative!
Love this drug exhibit. This is my first time to visit museum. Love it!
Drugs are bad for you so get off of them!
This drug exhibit was cool!
I hate drugs cause it is bad for you!
I pray for all the people suffering from addiction and for their families. I hope they are able to get the help they need.
This teaches people about drugs more than in school.
Drugs are bad & Osama bin Laden had drugs sent to us!
I am a strong hater of drugs. This exhibit has shown me the effects of drugs on one’s life and their family. It's disgusting what's happening!
The exhibit is a heart-wrenching, explicit view of what our cities, towns, and states have become. The viewing of the lost addicts & authority personnel is truly a sad but true reality of what this world is coming to all in the name of power, greed & control.
This is a very profound exhibit,it should be shown in every city and in small towns. Kudos to those that promoted this exhibit... extraordinary exhibit!
GREAT!
It told us a lot about drugs.
People shouldn't take drugs because it is a bad thing, many get arrested and it could kill you!
There needs to be more programs to help those who suffer the aftermath of drug abuse and the U.S. government needs to do more to secure its borders and commerce to stop these immigrants from smuggling drugs. The government can do something!
This is a sad and powerful exhibit. I hope people learn from these things and better their lives.
Drugs affect your eye sight, you can not think or drive good.
Drugs can affect your health, your job and people around you.
Drugs affect every area of your life!
The stuff about children and drugs is really something!
I wish that everyone in the world would not use drugs!
i hhhhhhhhaaaaaaattttttteeeeee drugs!
I love this place - the stuff about drugs is cool! I'll come back!
Drugs: Costs & Consequences I'M LOVIN' IT !
I like this place and learned alot about drugs. I'm happy to be here at a school fieldtrip!!!!
How do you know when a friend tells you to try something should you take it or not?... Not!!!
Make good decisions!
This section about drugs is very sad.... I don't like it but we need to learn about it.
I think that this exhibit was good and I have learned that many drugs are bad!

This is wierd.why do people take drugs?!
I will continue not to smoke or do drugs!
I learned to continue to say no to drugs!
se and you are sure to Lose!! Everything, including yourself.
I have seen, and personally have been affected by drugs my entire life growing up. My father was an addict and I cannot remember when drugs did not come first in his life. They still come first, I know that addiction is a disease but it ruined my childhood
I've seen this personally for too long. I work at a substance abuse facility here in Baltimore. The road to recovery is a long one. Many times you trip & fall, and sometimes you lose faith in yourself. Even after everything I see a patient go through, it
've always known never to associate myself with drugs/smoking... you only live once after all.
My dad use to smoke a lot, but he uses e-cigs. He stopped smoking after promising to me and my brother when we were young. Sometimes I feel like he's cheating.
Quite harrowing. I recommend it to anyone who knows anything about modern day America and/or drugs.
This exhibit really helped me to know some drugs are bad and some help you.
Just want to say this is fabulous! I'm a Science teacher & want to share more info!
If you willingly avoid drugs you won't become an addict.

Drugs are dumb! See all this!
American needs to relook at the war on drugs, learn from the past and stop treating what is an illness as a crime!
Sad and mad at drugs and people who sell them!
Do you think your dumb if you do drugs?
I hate drugs
Drugs are so ugly!
Yay!!!! We need to learn this!
Stay with your parents and good kids
Great exhibit! I was greatly impacted by the stories about the teens getting interviewed. Thank you for making an exhibit on this!
In July 2010 we lost our son to a heroin OD. Never think it can’t happen to you!!!
Thanks for this exhibit it really makes you think and changes your thoughts about drugs, it changed mine. No drugs for me please, I am now scared. Keep this exhibit up, I feel like it has a really good impact! Thanks!
Drugs are something temporary. A five second feeling of relief, a year of being cool or rich. You may become addicted, which despite how juvenile it sounds, it is not good! Even if you do not care about yourself, you will harm others. So many die!
Never do drugs!!! They're not fun and will ruin your life!!!
What are you doing people!!!???
Drugs are bad! Do not do them!
I found this exhibit very insightful and different because it didn't just focus on drugs but prevention and treatment.
My brother died of a Heart Attack brought on by Alcohol.
Amen!

It was very long and some things were hard to find on the scavenger hunt from our teacher but this is serious stuff!!!

I like the exhibit even though I am not going to take drugs!

Wonderful display. Thank you for bringing this to Baltimore!
