Thumbs down The DEA has a museum! And a propaganda arm...

Yea, today I learned that the DEA has a "museum and visitor's center".

http://www.deamuseum.org/

Also an 'educational foundation'. Isn't it considered propaganda when the government seeks to 'educate' people about a political issue?

I really hope this boondoogle is funded by sales from its gift shop.

I already can't stand the fact that my taxes are supporting the BOP & my local kangaroo court.

I'd hate to think that taxpayer money is funding this monument to cruelty and stupidity, too. (I suspect it probably is taxpayer-funded, though).

Believe me I am no fan of BoP but the federal government funds a lot of programs for law enforcement. I'm sure that people have to pay a fee to get into the 'museum' but that's how some people first hear about 'spice'. 'bath salts', heroin...etc. We have had a war on drugs for many years, look at the statistics of people in prison for it, my son was one of them...you know that deadly drug 'marijuana',
If you want to change things then petition, go to your city councilman, go to your state legislature and try to change those damn laws that throw people away for hundreds of years for 'drugs'...until then people will keep going to the museum to look at when 'alcohol' wasn't legal, how drugs have destroyed this country & families, and have progressively got more harmful and deadly as people create them.
I personally hate BoP but I would find the museum very interesting because who would have thought people actually do the things they do to get high. I kinda miss the days when our local sheriff would light a can of marijuana in the auditorium at school so we could all walk by and breathe real deep, then go eat pickles and slam cokes. Was that a contact high? LOL

WOW! I consider myself educated! Here on the West Coast we have an alternative view in the US Hemp Museum (Los Angeles, CA) that presents a lot of info about the drug war and DEA educational propaganda.
