Texas judge has dismissed a defamation lawsuit filed by a psychedelic church against various organizations that claimed its self-made, mind-altering sacrament was fraudulent, citing anti-SLAPP laws meant to protect free speech and prevent meritless lawsuits intended to suppress public commentary.

The church not only makes this substance … but it also offers the sacrament for sale on its website.”
