When Congress quietly passed the 2026 Appropriations Bill, it included one line that sent shockwaves through the hemp industry:
“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…”
Let’s be clear: This is not regulation—it’s prohibition.
And Franny’s Farmacy is not backing down.
💚 “We’re Fighting for Regulation, Not Prohibition.” — Franny Tacy
In the days since the ban was signed, Franny Tacy and her team have been hard at work, rallying alongside cannabis attorneys, advocates, lobbyists, and business owners to protect the future of hemp.
“This is about protecting access, protecting farms, and protecting freedom. We’re fighting for regulation, not a blanket ban that punishes good actors,” says Franny.
From Raleigh to D.C., Franny is keeping the right people in the room—connecting operators, experts, and lawmakers to shape realistic, informed hemp policy.
🌱 A True Grassroots Movement Has Already Begun
Since the bill’s passing:
- Thousands of letters have poured into Congress protesting the ban
- Media outlets are amplifying hemp voices
- States across the country are rejecting prohibition in favor of regulation and stability
💥 And Congress is listening.
Franny and her allies are making waves in Washington—and your voice is a big part of that.
🗓 What Happens Next?
The ban doesn’t go into full effect until November 2026, which means:
- We have one year to fight, adapt, and rewrite the rules
- State lawmakers and regulators will decide how this plays out locally
- The federal government cannot enforce this alone—it will unfold state by state
- Hemp and CBD products are still legal and safe to purchase right now
This means you can still shop your favorite products, but also need to stay vigilant and involved.
