Justice, Joints And The Lone Star Rebellion
From Courtrooms to Hemp Markets: Reform in Texas
In this episode of Time 4 Hemp, host Casper Leitch welcomes a powerhouse lineup of cannabis advocates, including Al Byrne, Al Graham, Justin James Bridges (Mad Dabber 710), and the unapologetically bold District Attorney Sarah Stogner of Texas’s 143rd Judicial District.
From her bold stance on cannabis reform to her fight against selective enforcement, Sarah shares why she’s risking it all to speak out. You’ll also hear powerful conversations about the future of hemp, its role in sustainable energy, medicine, and industry, and how outdated laws are holding back the global hemp industry. With insights from advocates in the U.S. and Canada, this episode explores the potential of industrial hemp, the struggles of patients and veterans, and the opportunities in emerging hemp markets.
“I’m not just a DA, I’m a mother, a survivor, and a citizen who believes in truth and healing,” said Stogner. “Cannabis saved my life. It’s time we stop criminalizing compassion.”
The episode highlights:
The selective enforcement of cannabis laws in Texas
The failures of the Texas Compassionate Use Program (TCUP)
The landmark legal victory expanding medical access for probationers
The urgent need for full-plant legalization and home cultivation rights.
Tune in for a mix of inspiration, activism, and real talk about why it’s truly Time 4 Hemp.
