It's not even grammatically correct. The original headline was fine.

  I think it's still grammatically correct. "withdraw" can be a verb; in this form it would be interpreted to mean "to leave from a place" (e.g., "the troops are withdrawing"). However, the title, as currently written, certainly doesn't mean what it was intended to mean. I.e., the way I'm parsing it is "(the DEA is leaving/retreating (to where isn't specified); once there, they're going to ban another plant); this occurred after the Internet got mad."

    Oop, you're right. It's awkward but it does technically make sense.

  The article's original title needed editing to fix within the length limits, so the edited title from the submitter was likely just an accident or minor mistake. We've just updated it to clarify.

    The title as given is awful, lacks context towards the plant being banned.
