The hemp industry is under fire—and Franny’s Farmacy is standing on the front lines of the fight.

Following the quiet passing of the 2026 Agriculture Appropriations Bill, which includes a federal ban on intoxicating hemp-derived products like Delta-8, THCa, and more, local and national media are turning their attention to voices who are rising up in resistance.

We’re proud to share that Franny Tacy, CEO and founder of Franny’s Farmacy, has been featured in both Mountain Xpress and The Charlotte Ledger as a leader in the movement to protect hemp, small farms, and consumer rights.

📰 From Asheville to Charlotte: Franny in the Headlines

In Mountain Xpress, Franny speaks candidly about the devastation this law could bring to small farms and trusted local operators:

“It’s a federal decision that will shut down small farms, wellness brands, and businesses like ours who’ve followed every rule and created something meaningful.”

Meanwhile, The Charlotte Ledger echoes the concern, warning that the legislation could “wipe out the entire North Carolina hemp economy” if left unchallenged.

✊ A Call for Regulation—Not Prohibition

Franny isn’t just speaking out—she’s taking action. Working directly with cannabis attorneys, lawmakers, and business owners across North Carolina, she is building momentum behind a grassroots push to demand real regulation, not reckless prohibition.

“This isn’t the end of hemp,” Franny says. “It’s a call to stand up for it.”

🔥 A Grassroots Movement Is Growing

• Thousands of letters have already been sent to Congress

• Consumers, advocates, and lawmakers are waking up to what’s at stake

• States are beginning to reject prohibition in favor of thoughtful regulation

And Franny is helping lead the charge—connecting farmers, experts, and decision-makers to shape smarter, more sustainable cannabis policy for the future.
