President Donald Trump has abruptly fired Attorney General Pam Bondi, throwing the Justice Department into another shakeup — but don’t expect it to derail federal marijuana reform.
Despite Bondi being the official tasked with carrying out Trump’s order to reschedule cannabis, insiders say the process is already in motion and unlikely to slow down. The administration has made it clear the directive stands, regardless of who’s leading the DOJ.
Her replacement — at least for now — is expected to continue executing the same plan, with marijuana potentially moving to Schedule III within weeks or months, depending on legal and procedural hurdles.
Bottom line: while the politics around cannabis policy remain messy, the push to loosen federal restrictions appears to be bigger than any one attorney general.
