This past Sunday I happened to get laid over in New York City for a
few hours due to a delay causing me to miss my connecting flight, so
took the opportunity to zip downtown to take a look around.

Not having my winter coat with me (was packed in my luggage), I
stopped and bought a $10 coat at a discount store, along with a scarf,
and a winter hat with a pot leaf patch on it ;)

While walking around downtown, I discovered that there is a mini DEA
museum there (the real one is in Arlington, Virginia), so I decided to
check it out... wearing my hat of course.

First of all, they subject everyone (not just me) to a search more
thorough than the airport. They had everyone empty their pockets,
searched purses, used the metal detecting wand, and patted everyone
down. I asked if I could take pictures, and they told me to, "feel
free".

So I wandered around, taking pictures of the propaganda displays, and
collected come propaganda brouchures.

I even got my picture taken with a DEA Agent, who didn't seem to have
too much of a problem with my hat, grinning and saying, "the subtle
irony of your hat is not lost on me".

On my way out, I stopped at the gift shop -- not that I felt good
about contributing my own cash to their cause, but that I was
interested in a couple of momento's for my own reasons... heheh... ;)
-- they had all kinds of stuff including a DEA sew-on patch.

When I enquired on the price to the lady at the counter, her
supervisor approached the counter -- visibly upset -- and told me that
he refused to sell me a patch. I asked him if it was because of my
hat, and he said yes -- that he refused to sell me a patch because I
was going to "use it to make fun" of them.

I asked him if I could buy a pen. He said yes... I could buy a pen ;)

So now I have a DEA pen with which to sign copies of my book about
drugs! (when I finish it) :P

Is the DEA still saying I am corrupting the youth of America? I haven't
checked their website recently. I think they were just jealous I outranked
them on Google.

I ay I would be happy if somebody blew that fucking chrisitan jew cop
building up.

I do not have freedom of speech and that is the main reason why I hope
for a civil war so I could legally kill every chrisitan jew cop I see.

EXTERMINATE the jews and leave my posts alone.

Kewl. It would've been fun to find a kid, and give them the money to
go buy that patch for you...and then have them hand it to you right in
front of the clerk.

How Cosmic your post is. I was just today admiring my NYPD - DEA badge
that
I bought at a flea market in San Francisco way back in 1994 (the year
after I
stopped doing crack). I conclude it is a real badge as it looks
exactly like the
NYPD show badges look but with no number - just the letters DEA under
the bottom of the badge where the number of the badge should be.

Anyway I bought it for the fun of having it more than any other reason.
I've grown rather tired of having it and was thinking of auctioning it
on ebay.

My friends think it will bring a lot of money - if I put it up on ebay
for auction.
So, I think I will.

BTW, as most people on this group know already - I'm a medical
marijuana
patient in Northern California that has it prescribed by an M.D. at
1/8 oz per day. I grow my own totally organic -- so I know it's
potency and quality is what I want and need.

I have a fairly psychedelic home also. Wild shrooms grow on
the property, the MM crop and about 23 or 24 San Pedro cactus' along
with
a few Salvia plants and a medium size BHWR tree. There's this other (I
forget the name) that grows these rock hard fruits that look a lot like
a pear. The seed
inside of it has strong psychedelic properties - I've been told by some
local
friends.

The town I live in also has the largest online Psychoactive Plant store
specializing in Salvia plants and cacti. We have a mini-mall right on
Hwy 101
North that has side by side; a medical marijuna club, a psychedelic
shop
and a town teen center. It's a wonderful town to live in!

Actually, I didn't notice until checking the website more closely, but
this was part of the "Target America" tour

The New York City leg of the tour:

September 10, 2004 -- January 31, 2005
One Times Square
New York City, NY
