another reason i believe that the goverment hates it is because if they release to the public that its not that evil kill taht will make you brain-dead, then they will also show that they spent trillions on the war on drugs, and they werent even fighting what was bad...they see it as a gateway drug, but in fact, many people go from being a good, happily married couple in the rich part of town...then try meth or something, bud is not the gateway drug...
