🚨 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.


🌿 What This Means for You, the Consumer

  • No more access to Delta-8, Delta-10, THC-O, or THCa flower sold online

  • Mass closures of small hemp businesses across the country

  • Loss of choice in safe, legal, lab-tested hemp alternatives

  • Economic destruction for family farmers, female entrepreneurs, and regenerative brands like ours

  • Millions of dollars in potential tax revenue and jobs erased


🧡 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.


✊ We Must Act NOW

We cannot let this stand. There is still time to demand that Congress AMEND this bill and REMOVE the hemp ban language before it becomes permanent law.

📣 Here’s What You Can Do:

  1. Contact your legislators immediately.
    Tell them to oppose the hemp ban in the appropriations bill. Be firm. Be clear. Be loud.
    👉 Find Your Representative →

  2. Use your voice on social media.
    Share your story. Tag your senators. Use hashtags like:
    #SaveHemp #ProtectTHCa #FarmFreedom #FrannysFarmacy

  3. Support hemp businesses NOW.
    Every purchase helps us survive this threat. Stock up. Spread the word. Stand with us.

  4. Follow us on Social @frannysfarmacy to stay updated and informed!


đź’š We Are Not Going Quietly

We’re proud to be part of a nationwide movement of farmers, advocates, entrepreneurs, and educators who believe in the power of hemp to heal, connect, and change lives .

But if this bill stands as written, that future disappears.

👉 Let Congress know: WE WILL NOT LET HEMP DIE QUIETLY.
This isn’t just about Delta-8—it’s about freedom, fairness, and the future of plant-based wellness.
