I think that's right.
The history of Star Scientific and its successor, Rock Creek Pharmaceuticals, tells the story of Jonnie Williams' product, Anatabloc. It had done a lot of good for a lot of people and was forced off the market by a threatening letter from the FDA. In my opinion that letter's only reason for existing was political, not medical.
Williams' current molecule MYMD-1 is a (some say improved) version of anatabine citrate (Anatabloc).
Akers might do well with this.
