Governments says it it bad so it must be bad (sarcasm) In reality the reason why the government doesn't want to fund study of marijuana is because they lied about there original studies just to spite people who used it via prejudice (they most likely looked at African Americans ) And they don't want to own up to that fact they -blam!-ed up and the fact there war on drugs is a massive waste of time and money. Everyone knows it. they just don't want to take the fall.
