Aloha Plus Cannabinoids
9650 Leesville Rd, Raleigh, NC 27613
Aloha Plus on Leesville Road is the Triangle's first healthcare-provider-owned cannabinoid store, bringing a clinical perspective to hemp retail in Northwest Raleigh. The shop carries a broad range including CBD, THCv, CBG, CBN, Delta-8, and indoor-grown hemp flower, with staff trained to guide customers based on wellness goals. The healthcare provider ownership fundamentally changes the consultation experience here. Rather than recreational sales framing, Aloha Plus approaches product recommendations the way a clinician approaches options, with questions about symptoms, goals, and health context before suggesting anything. The minor cannabinoid selection reflects this: CBG for focus, CBN for sleep, THCv for appetite management, and CBD for general wellness sit alongside mainstream THCa and Delta-8. Located on Leesville Road near the Brier Creek area, Aloha Plus serves a suburban market that skews toward health-motivated hemp users rather than recreational consumers.

Every product is backed by a third-party certificate of analysis. Note: hours at this Raleigh location may differ from other Apotheca stores, confirm before visiting at (980) 759-3534.

This is Cannapa's most focused location, carrying THCa flower as the primary product with the brand's emphasis on quality over variety.

Cannapa's 1412 New Bern Ave location fills that gap with a full product selection, THCa flower, edibles, vapes, and concentrates, and the brand's standard 10pm close that beats most East Raleigh competition on hours. The store serves the New Bern Ave corridor including Brentwood, East Raleigh, and commuters coming in from Knightdale on US-64. Third-party COAs are available in-store for all products.

Carolindica - Garner Station
1803 Garner Station Blvd, Raleigh, NC 27603
Founded by Chris Karazin, Carolindica handcrafts every product in-house in Raleigh, from THCa flower to edibles to concentrates, rather than sourcing from third-party distributors.

The in-house manufacturing model means every product has a traceable origin and consistent production standards, a meaningful difference from shops that resell whatever the distributor is pushing. Five national awards in 2025, including Top Retailer Nationwide, reflect what local customers have known for years.

The Hillsborough Street location puts Hemp Generation in the heart of Raleigh's most active retail corridor, walkable from NC State's campus and surrounded by the restaurants that make Hillsborough Street a destination.

Hemp Generation - Wake Forest Rd
2003 Wake Forest Rd, Raleigh, NC 27608

The Wake Forest Road store serves residents of Five Points, Person Street, Mordecai, and the surrounding Midtown Raleigh neighborhoods who want a neighborhood dispensary rather than a strip-mall stop. The DoorDash delivery option makes this one of the few dispensaries in Raleigh that brings products to your door without a dedicated delivery program. The Hillsborough Street flagship is the brand's other Raleigh location, serving the NC State corridor.

The lineup covers the main categories (CBD, Delta-8, Delta-9 gummies, THCa flower) plus inhalables and edibles for shoppers who want format variety. A good option for Five Points regulars who want to add a hemp stop to a neighborhood visit, or for anyone who appreciates a low-key boutique browsing experience.
Sherlocks Glass & Dispensary
3801 Hillsborough St, Raleigh, NC 27607
Sherlocks Glass and Dispensary is a hemp dispensary and high-end glass art gallery at 3801 Hillsborough Street in Raleigh, founded in 2015 by childhood friends Alex Pelliccia and glassblower Rob and expanded to add THCa retail in 2023. The shop exclusively carries THCa, Delta-9, and CBD, deliberately avoiding Delta-8, alongside American-made artisan glass pipes. Sherlocks occupies a converted space near the Hillsborough Street corridor that connects NC State's campus to the Oberlin neighborhood. The gallery roots show throughout: pipes and rigs are displayed as art pieces, and staff includes working glass artists who can speak to craftsmanship alongside cannabinoids. The product selection is intentionally narrow, THCa flower, Delta-9 edibles, and CBD only, reflecting a philosophy of carrying what the owners genuinely stand behind. For shoppers seeking a curated dispensary experience with serious American-made glass on the walls, Sherlocks is the Triangle's most distinctive option.

One of the few downtown Raleigh dispensaries with Sunday hours.

The Farmwell Road location serves Southwest Raleigh near the Garner border, an area underserved by hemp retail. The founding story matters here, Durand built this business from personal experience with CBD's therapeutic benefits, and that background shapes how staff approach customer consultations.

The selection spans a wider cannabinoid range than most Raleigh dispensaries, including HHC and CBN alongside the standard THCa and Delta-9 offerings, giving health-focused shoppers more targeted options.

The education mission is genuine: staff are trained to ask what you are trying to accomplish before pointing you toward a product, making Trek a strong option for first-time hemp buyers who find bigger dispensaries overwhelming. The product selection prioritizes CBD and Delta-8 with Delta-9 edibles, rather than leading with high-potency THCa flower. A patient, approachable experience for wellness-focused shoppers in the Crabtree area.
Triangle Hemp Wellness
4701 Creedmoor Rd, Raleigh, NC 27612
Triangle Hemp Wellness near Crabtree Valley Mall stocks one of the widest cannabinoid menus in North Raleigh, covering Delta-8, THCa, THC-P, Delta-10, Delta-9, CBD, and Kava in formats from vapes to tinctures. A strong option for experienced consumers seeking variety and less common cannabinoids. The Creedmoor Road location puts Triangle Hemp Wellness in the heart of the Crabtree Valley retail zone, accessible from surrounding North Raleigh neighborhoods and from I-440. The cannabinoid breadth is genuinely notable, most Triangle dispensaries carry four or five cannabinoids at most, but Triangle Hemp Wellness adds THCP, Delta-10, and Kava to the standard menu. The variety of formats (vapes, tinctures, edibles, flower) compounds the selection depth, making this the best North Raleigh option for experienced consumers who have moved past the basics. Closing times are earlier than most competitors, so morning and afternoon visits work better than after-work stops.
Wake-N-Bakery
1213 Hillsborough St, Raleigh, NC 27603
Wake-N-Bakery is a cannabis cafe chain that opened its Raleigh location on Hillsborough Street in 2023. The menu blends THC-infused coffees, lemonades, baked goods, and boba drinks with a full hemp dispensary carrying flower, edibles, and vapes, a cafe-meets-dispensary concept unique in the Triangle. The cafe-dispensary hybrid is genuinely unusual in Raleigh, most hemp shops are retail only, but Wake-N-Bakery blends a working food and beverage menu with a full dispensary floor. The 1213 Hillsborough Street address puts it on the same strip as Cannapa, Sherlocks, and The Hemp Farmacy, but the food menu distinguishes it completely. THC-infused coffees, lemonades, baked goods, and boba drinks make Wake-N-Bakery a hangout destination rather than a quick stop. The dispensary side carries flower, edibles, and vapes with morning hours starting at 9am, among the earliest on Hillsborough Street. A one-of-a-kind Triangle experience.
Wildflower Hemp Co
909 Rock Quarry Rd, Raleigh, NC 27610

Rock Quarry Road in Southeast Raleigh puts Wildflower in a fast-growing part of the city that remains underserved by hemp retail. The 8am opening is the earliest in Raleigh by a significant margin, most dispensaries open at 10am or 11am, making Wildflower the logical choice for early-rising Southeast Raleigh residents, Garner commuters, and anyone whose schedule demands a morning stop. The full product menu (THCa flower, Delta-9 gummies, dabs, vapes) covers the main categories across 12 hours of operating time daily. No medical card is required for any purchase.
Raleigh's hemp dispensary market is the Triangle's largest and most competitive, with 28 shops spread across a city of roughly 480,000 residents. As North Carolina's state capital, Raleigh attracts a diverse range of retailers, from artisan glass gallery dispensaries like Sherlocks on Hillsborough Street to multi-location chains serving high-traffic commercial corridors. The city's robust retail environment keeps pricing competitive, and customers benefit from being able to compare products across dozens of stores within a short drive.
Dispensaries cluster around several key corridors. Hillsborough Street near NC State University is the densest stretch, with multiple shops serving students and the surrounding Oberlin Road neighborhoods. Capital Boulevard heading north from downtown toward Wake Forest is another major artery, with shops spaced along the retail strip serving commuters and North Raleigh residents. Midtown Glenwood Avenue, the Creedmoor Road corridor, and the Lake Wheeler and Rock Quarry Road areas in southeast Raleigh round out the city's geographic spread.
Most Raleigh shops carry the full range of hemp cannabinoids: THCa flower, Delta-8 and Delta-9 edibles, CBD products, vapes, and concentrates. No medical card or prescription is needed — just a valid ID confirming you're 21 or older. Hours vary but most shops are open seven days a week, typically from 10 or 11am through 7 or 8pm. Staff at most Raleigh dispensaries are accustomed to first-time customers and are generally patient with questions about product differences, dosing, and legal status.
