Forgotten Voices

Do you know anyone who used drugs pre-1971? Perhaps you know someone involved in enforcement pre 1971? 

Ask them to add their comments to the Forgotten Voices section of the website www.museumofdrugs.com - an innovative way of collating hidden histories.

The Hutchinson Collection

Today marks the unveiling of The Hutchinson Collection. The Museum Of Drugs Paraphernalia And Related Antiquities is very proud to collaborate with Mike Hutchinson in showcasing his work. We would be grateful for any comments that you might wish to make. 

70s/ 80s

Thanks for the first of what I hope will be many comments. Interesting to look at the issue of enforcement on Latin America during the period described. The Museum is dedicated to history pre 1971 (Misuse Of Drugs Act - UK Legislation) 

May I suggest a visit to the section on the Opium Wars which highlights the role of the UK in dominating the export of the drug to China. This section of the site will be developed further to include new research. 

Yours Faithfully, 

The Curator
