I've been hunting for the related source for this (and similar) article today. I cannot find any FDA press releases[1] which point to any documents like this being released. From a YouTube video from the same source as this article, there is a brief image of a document, which is the August 29, 2023 letter from HHS to the FDA [3-redacted].
Has anyone found a more definitive source that the FDA has recently released a "report" with this content? I wonder if this is just slow news day recap of old information.
Instead, I will assume that the FDA has not reversed a decades-long policy without evidence stronger than a local news station which uses a local weed doctor as their quotable source.
The change in _stated_ FDA policy is a huge shift. This explainable-by-a-simple-mistake news article seems much more likely to me. This article header says "Posted at 5:43 AM, Mar 21, 2024 and last updated 2024-03-21 20:13:30-04". That's a 100% full business day where _no other mainstream media_ picked up the story? Possible, but not likely.
