If a proposed cure is really any good, submit it for testing and demostrate that it works and everyone will be happy. The only people who will be blocked will be those who are pushing fake "cures" that don't stand up to scrutiny - exactly the kind of thing we don't want people selling.

Unfortunately, mariuana research has been illegal since forever. Hard to submit something for testing when it will get you arrested just for possessing it.
