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

We’ve survived hurricanes, stigma, and industry setbacks. But this is different.
This is federal prohibition—disguised as a footnote.
