Podcast # 59 Lisa Pittman on The Delta 8 Debate of Texas
Lisa talks with Jesse and Russell about the ongoing Delta 8 situation in Texas. As a district court judge in Travis country recently
shot down the TRO filed by Hometown Hero, the district judge, Gary D. Harger, decided against issuing a TRO against DSHS or the state on the matter on the basis that the plaintiff has not met the requirements of a temporary restraining order.
