Cannabis reform has moved at a snail's pace in Texas. But activists are trying to speed things up by fighting for reform at the city and county levels. On this episode, I speak with Tristan Seikel, organizer and co-founder of the group Decriminalize Denton, to get an inside look at their efforts to decriminalize small amounts of cannabis in Denton, Texas.

This episode is an audio adaptation of reporting I've done for the Dallas Observer. It is recorded and produced by me.
