Visited it on the 23rd of June, 2023, on a Saturday. Had to go through security. And remember this is a Federal building so I had to take off my hat, bag, keys. If I had a belt I would have taken that off too. It isn't hard to prepare to visit the building. Also bring your ID and do what the guards tell you. Before I continue let me point out I found all staff friendly and organized. I was the first person in the museum because the folks behind me either were not prepared or, in one case, left their ID in their car. After security you walk through some hallways with a memorial and a few small displays. There is a set of restrooms and water foundations. So if you need them use them before you continue. Then you reach the museum which is bigger than I thought it would be. The reviews made it sound small. It is one room. But one LONG room. Like a few rooms were linked together by knocking down walls. I found the displays to be clear and very factual. I didn't detect any spins on any of the information. There were a few interactive stations and some of it was designed for teens and young adults. I found the history and drug data very interesting. My only complaint was the gift shop had no books. The entry to the museum is hard to miss. There is a lot of signs and there are benches outside to wait if you get there early. Close to the Metro and also close to a few places to eat. I could have spent hours reading in there if I didn't have plans for the afternoon.
