http://www.cadca.org/resources/traveling-dea-exhibit-drugs-costs-consequences-debuts-virginia
The national touring exhibit developed by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and the DEA Educational Foundation, “Drugs: Costs and Consequences,” formerly known as “Target America,” opens Jan. 12, at 750 Miller Drive, SE, Suite F-1 in Leesburg, Va., and will be open Tuesdays through Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.
“Drugs: Costs and Consequences” explains the science behind illegal drug addiction, and the countless costs and consequences of illegal drugs to individuals, American society, and the world. Visitors will gain an understanding of the environmental effects of drugs and what law enforcement, drug abuse education, and treatment are doing to break the troubling cycle of drugs and drug-related violence. They will view an actual South American jungle coca processing lab and a re-created Afghan heroin factory as well as analyze brain-scans in a simulated MRI machine and view real wreckage from a drug-related car accident.
A portion of “Drugs: Costs and Consequences” will focus specifically on Loudoun County and Northern Virginia, exploring the evolution of heroin abuse and enforcement in the area.
CADCA also consulted with exhibit curators to include a panel on the power of the coalition movement in addressing substance abuse.
“Drugs: Costs and Consequences” was developed in partnership with The DEA Educational Foundation, The Center for Substance Abuse Prevention, The U.S. National Guard, The National Institute on Drug Abuse, The Office of National Drug Control Policy, and CADCA.

Ah, our tax dollars at work, what a sight to see. 🙂
Has anyone else noticed that every one of countries we have occupied over the last 55 years are either major oil or drug producing countries? Oil, the entire Middle East. Drugs, Central American countries like Panama, Vietnam, Afghanistan and other Southeast Asian countries known for opium poppies and the production of heroin.
Why does it seem like our governments officials have more to their agenda then meets the eye.. Conspiracy Theorists have thought for years, and have even gathered some evidence that agencies like the CIA have helped drug lords and even smuggled drugs to help finance their covert programs.
So is the war on drugs simply just a dissimformation campain? Common sense dictates that sister agencies would start an active investigation and war against a similar product (legally prescribed medications) to drive up the demands for the product that they are supplying. In other words, they have started a war on prescription drugs to increase the demand for illegal drugs. They would have to, of course act like they are fighting the illegal drug war by bustling a few loads here and there, but if they were truly serious about stopping the inflow of illegal drugs they would get more then the small percentage that they do. They start programs like this one to throw the public off balance and none of them really communicate with each other so there is plausible denighability.
Yes I agree that this all sounds like an outrageous conspiracy theory but these agencies have all been linked to drugs corruption at one time or another.
