That sounds fair, but to be honest I don't trust the government's official bullshit either.
What gets accepted as the officially-sanctioned wisdom is too easily influenced by special interests ("bootleggers and Baptists"), power grabs, and political convenience (marijuana laws and minorities).
Oh, I agree with you and the classification of marijuana is a great example. The government line on that seems totally divorced from reality, even if it is to remain illegal.
