Save NC Hemp Rally & Community Gathering

Saturday, November 14, 2026 | 3–6 PM

Join Franny's Farmacy as we celebrate eight years at our Merrimon Avenue flagship with an afternoon of live music, community connection, and conversation about the future of North Carolina's hemp industry. Our position is clear: Sensible Responsible Regulation, Not Prohibition. New federal restrictions could threaten a large amount of hemp products, responsible businesses and livelihoods. 

What to Expect:

• Live Music: 3–6 PM
• Huge In-Store Savings: All day, 9 AM–7 PM
• Refreshments & Giveaways
• Limited-Edition Athena Iron-On Patches: Bring your own flannel, while supplies last
• Save NC Hemp Education & Petition Signing: Learn about upcoming federal hemp restrictions, sign the petition, and share your personal story

As part of our Save NC Hemp initiative, we're collecting handwritten letters, personal stories, and petition signatures from Western North Carolina residents ahead of November 17 advocacy activities in Raleigh and Washington, DC.

North Carolina legislators have also been invited to meet community members and hear firsthand how changing hemp regulations may affect consumers, farmers, and local businesses.

Whether you're joining us for the music, celebrating eight years at Merrimon, or learning more about Save NC Hemp, we welcome you to be part of the gathering. This is a crucial time for the future of cannabis and we ask you to join the action if hemp has played a role in you or a loved one's life.
Sign the Petition

Signing the Petition Means you stand for: Sensible Regulation

• 21+ age restrictions for intoxicating hemp products, enforced nationwide
• Independent product testing and transparent labeling 
• Licensing and accountability for manufacturers and retailers
• Real enforcement against irresponsible operators — instead of eliminating the responsible businesses alongside them
