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.
