I was saying like how the powers that be prevent research on certian topics or slant it.

For example the lack of research on MJ.

I was pointing out that when given the ability to work without political manipulation the CDC and other government research groups make huge breakthroughs and can provide better data to help lawmakers craft better policy but its a balance for example some will block and threaten to defund.

Its the same reason we don't have good studies and data on alternative education (NEA won't allow it). MJ (big alc., pharma and private prisons don't want it) Guns (big business does not want it)
