The DEA is some respects provides cover.
The FDA is saying:

"Under those provisions, if a substance (such as THC or CBD) is an active ingredient in a drug product that has been approved under 21 U.S.C. § 355 (section 505 of the FD&C Act), or has been authorized for investigation as a new drug for which substantial clinical investigations have been instituted and for which the existence of such investigations has been made public, then products containing that substance are outside the definition of a dietary supplement."

No one really knows the date for "substantial clinical investigations...made public" that the FDA is going off of.

But if the DEA was saying something was illegal (despite the 2004 injunction they had) how could it have been expected to to have been marketed as a dietary supplement before the "substantial clinical investigations...made public".

When I brought this up the FTC they said this:

"...Please know that the FTC’s authority is over business practices and does not extend to the actions of other federal agencies..."

Can't imagine the FTC says that very often to people.
