Springbig Applauds DEA’s Recent Reclassification of Marijuana
DEA’s Reclassification of Marijuana Boosts Business Opportunities and Consumer Access, Signaling a New Era for the Cannabis Industry
BOCA RATON, Fla., May 01, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Springbig, a leading provider of marketing solutions for the cannabis industry, expressed their strong support for the Drug Enforcement Administration’s (DEA) decision to reclassify marijuana as a lower-risk drug, announced yesterday. Reflecting the broad societal trends in the last decade-plus, this move from the DEA proves that the federal government is finally recognizing cannabis for its true value as an industry that is positively impacting businesses and consumers alike.
Jeff Harris, CEO of Springbig, commented, “The DEA’s reclassification of marijuana is a transformative development for the cannabis industry. It not only reflects the evolving perception of cannabis in our society but also opens up tremendous business opportunities and greater access for consumers,” said Jeff Harris, CEO of Springbig. “This change will bring the cannabis market into the mainstream, promoting legal, regulated, and licensed businesses that, up until now were held back by undue regulatory burdens, realize their growth potential.”
For consumers, the new classification means wider access to cannabis products that are personalized to their preferences and regulated for higher quality. It promises to reduce the stigma associated with cannabis use, making it more acceptable in mainstream healthcare and wellness circles.
From a business perspective, the reclassification reduces numerous regulatory barriers that have previously halted the growth and operational efficiency of cannabis companies.

This is particularly beneficial for startups and established companies looking to expand their reach in the industry.
