I do think the government knows that they are harmful.

The main fear I think comes from the majority of people who are not that bright and can not cognitively handle the type of thinking that comes from psychedelic use.

Imagine if you just listened to the gov your whole life and then after taking psychedelics u start questioning what is good/bad , what is true/false.

Before you know it, flat earth theory is real.

Personally I'd be willing to risk open-mindedness spreading to people in society that "might not be able to handle it" rather than slide further into a dystopia where we're kept stupid on purpose because we might be harder to control if we thought for ourselves.
