🚨 The Hemp Ban Is Real — And It’s Happening NOW
A Sneaky Move in Washington Just Threatened the Entire Hemp Industry
In a stunning and deeply alarming move, Congress has passed an appropriations bill that includes a one-line provision that could devastate the hemp industry overnight.
Buried deep within the 2026 Agriculture, Rural Development, FDA, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act
, this line reads:
“Prevents the unregulated sale of intoxicating hemp-based or hemp-derived products, including Delta-8, from being sold online, in gas stations, and corner stores, while preserving non-intoxicating CBD and industrial hemp products.”
Let’s be clear: This is a federal ban on hemp-derived THC.
And it’s been snuck into a government funding bill
meant to prevent a shutdown— without open debate or public input.

🧡 Why This Hits Franny’s Farmacy Hard
At Franny’s, we’ve fought from the soil up —as North Carolina’s first female hemp farmer, we’ve built this mission on education, healing, and community-based cannabis access . This bill threatens everything we’ve cultivated —our products, our purpose, and our people.
We’ve survived hurricanes, stigma, and industry setbacks. But this is different.
This is federal prohibition—disguised as a footnote.
