Chronic Guru Dispensary & Lounge - Durham

5.0(392 reviews)

About

Chronic Guru occupies a storefront on Ninth Street in Old West Durham, the walkable retail strip beside Duke's East Campus, and it is a dispensary and lounge rather than a retail counter. The Durham location is part of a small chain, and the lounge is what reviewers lead with: a seating area with heaters, darts, regular puff-and-paint nights, and infused drink creations made on site. The company describes its cannabis as organically and hydroponically grown. Entry is 21 and over. It holds a perfect 5.0 across nearly 400 reviews, and the single most mentioned thing in them is the gift bag handed out to new customers. Hours run 11am to 10pm Sunday through Thursday and 11am to midnight on Friday and Saturday, which makes it one of the few Durham hemp shops still open past 10pm on a weekend. Reviewers note the shop has run cash only at times, so it is worth calling ahead. In-store shopping, pickup, and delivery are all listed.

Sherlocks Glass & Dispensary - Durham is a hemp dispensary and glass art gallery at 206 Broadway St in Durham, NC, specializing in THCa flower, Delta-9 edibles, and CBD. Sherlocks on Broadway brings the beloved Triangle glass art gallery experience to downtown Durham's lively creative corridor. The shop sits within walking distance of the Durham Performing Arts Center, the American Tobacco Campus, and the growing restaurant scene that defines this part of central Durham. Like the Raleigh flagship, this location was conceived as equal parts dispensary and gallery, displaying handcrafted American-made glass pipes and rigs as functional art pieces on open shelving. Staff includes glass enthusiasts who can speak to the craftsmanship behind individual pieces as fluently as they discuss cannabinoids.

Whether you're a collector seeking a new piece or a curious newcomer to hemp, the Broadway location delivers an experience unlike any other dispensary in Durham.

The shop carries the full Hempies core lineup: THCa flower, edibles, vapes, and Delta-8 products, displayed in a clean modern retail environment that's easy to navigate for newcomers and regulars alike. Inventory rotates regularly, and the chain's centralized buying means customers can expect the same trusted brands across all locations.

5(128)

Redhead Hemp is a hemp dispensary at 413 E Chapel Hill St in Durham, NC, specializing in THCa flower, edibles, Delta-8, and Delta-9.

Founded by a Durham-area native with a background in natural health retail, Redhead Hemp was built around the idea that hemp product quality should be non-negotiable regardless of format.

Staff are direct and informative, offering candid comparisons between products rather than defaulting to whatever's highest margin. The downtown location attracts a cosmopolitan mix of professionals, creatives, and visitors discovering Durham for the first time.
