Of Interest: Tampa's MOSI Exhibit - Target America: Opening Eyes to the Damage Drugs Cause

St. Petersburg Criminal Attorney and Former State Prosecutor Melinda Morris of the Morris Law Firm discusses a new exhibit on loan from the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Museum.

Issue:

In an effort to highlight the collateral damage drug crimes cause, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has loaned the Tampa Musuem of Science and Industry (MOSI) an exhibit called, “Target America: Opening Eyes to the Damage Drugs Cause.”  The exhibit is designed to illustrate the costs and consequences of drug crimes and related criminal activity.


Why This Matters To You:

The DEA picked Tampa, Florida as the longest standing host of the travelling exhibit for a reason - they consider Florida ground zero for the war on drugs.  The exhibit will remain at MOSI for one year.  In fact, part of the exhibit specifically highlights Florida’s connection with drug crimes including displays on: The Florida Gateway; Pill Mills and Grow Houses; Florida History Timeline and Faces & Places; Lost Potential and Getting Help; Under Surveillance; and Recognize Those Drugs.




Other displays at the exhibit include:

1. Debris Field
2. Cocaine Lab      
3. Heroin Lab
4. 9/11 Artifacts
5. Drug production
6. Drug Trafficking
7. Money Laundering
8. Methamphetamine Motel  
9. Costs to the Environment
10. Crack Den  
11. Costs to Children  
12. Lost Talent Memorial
13. Drugs: The Brain and the Body - Prescription Drugs
14. The Discovery Corner
15. Breaking the Cycle
