Because they work best as whole plant stewed as tea , they can't make pills out of it

you're not buying artemisia in France or Belgium
Look at the link
A medicinal plant called Artemisia annua (or sweet wormwood) has been used in China to treat malaria for 2,000 years and is still grown by farmers in Africa. But it's not approved by the World Health Organization and remains banned in a number of countries, including France. Malaria claims almost half a million lives each year and Africa is worst affected. In recent years, the mosquitoes that spread the disease have become increasingly resistant to insecticide.
FRANCE 24 brings you an in-depth investigation into the debate between those for and against this natural anti-malaria remedy, which appears as a threat to large pharmaceutical laboratories.

Yeah they can. It’s actually really simple to do. Just make a very strong tea, reduce the liquid and add a thickening agent so it’s more of a thicker liquid, put in capsule.
Ir just dehydrate it and put it in a capsule. Like other medicines.
They can't patent and control something which exists and works in its natural form.
but are you going to charge $1,000 for a month's supply of something people can obtain for next to nothing? Or grow in a pot on their balcony, or in the garden?

Absinthe has often been portrayed as a dangerously addictive psychoactive drug and hallucinogen.[9] The chemical compound thujone, which is present in the spirit in trace amounts, was blamed for its alleged harmful effects. By 1915, absinthe had been banned in the United States and in much of Europe, including France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, and Austria–Hungary, yet it has not been demonstrated to be any more dangerous than ordinary spirits.
