True, but that would have required to plan ahead an bring one along, or else wait until the curse was actually broken, because that's when Rumple brought Magic to the LWM. She would not have been able to get the ingredients for the potion in the LWM, unless Gold was involved with the amnesia, which means she still would have had to wait until Emma at least showed up in Storybrooke, because even Gold was suffering from Amnesia until that point. (or so we have been led to believe).
