We tried banning it, it didn’t really end too well, as it was still available but funded a lot of organized crime, but apparently we didn’t learn our lesson when it comes to other drugs. It’s also not really practical to control as making it, in at least some form or another, is too easy. Even weed requires you have seeds from a specific plant to produce it, whereas a huge, huge variety of foods cab be fermented. It’s also got a lot of cultural relevance and history to it that make people think of it as different from other drugs
