Not all drugs cure and most don't. Most drugs developed just treat the symptoms. If pharmaceutical companies produced drugs that cure, their repeat business wouldn't exist, they wouldn't make as much money, therefore one does not see many drugs coming on the market that cure, only treat.

Too many pharmaceuticals drugs to name. And marijuana is the only illegal drug used to treat and prevent many disorders, diseases, illnesses and conditions. It's also the only one to be made legal for medical use.
