Here's the part . . .

. . . where I pick a fairly minor point in a story and obsess over it.

The story? Salvia, banned in Missouri, can be obtained over the Internet and/or a roadtrip to Illinois.

The tidbit that interests me most?

Though the actual process the DEA must go through to get a drug illegalized is classified, DEA spokeswoman Rojene Waite did say that they have been collecting information on salvia in order to show that it meets the eight factors of analysis necessary to register a substance as controlled.

Is there any legitimate reason that the banning process should be classified? Any at all? Anyone? Anyone?
