Hemp Generation - Hillsborough St

Founded in 2015 by childhood friends Alex Pelliccia and glassblower Rob, Sherlocks started as a high-end glass art gallery on Hillsborough Street and expanded into a THCa dispensary 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.

Voted Best of Raleigh hemp store and an IndyWeek Best of the Triangle runner-up, NC Hemp Shoppe on Creedmoor Road in North Raleigh carries premium THCa flower, Delta-9 gummies, Delta-8, and CBD. Staff are trained to help both newcomers and experienced consumers find the right product and dosage. The Creedmoor Road location sits in North Raleigh near the Crabtree Valley corridor, making it convenient for residents of North Hills, Brier Creek, and the neighborhoods between I-440 and I-540. The shop has earned its awards through consistency — a steady rotation of quality THCa strains, reliable Delta-9 edibles with accurate potency labeling, and staff who take time to explain cannabinoid differences without being condescending. NC Hemp Shoppe also runs a second location on Glenwood Avenue for shoppers in the entertainment district. Online ordering with in-store pickup is available for regulars who know what they want.

Family owned and operated, The Hemp Company serves the North Ridge area of North Raleigh with a carefully curated lineup of THCa, CBD, Delta-8, and wellness products. The team emphasizes personalized service and product education for every customer who walks through the door. Located on Falls of Neuse Road near the North Ridge shopping area, The Hemp Company draws from the established residential neighborhoods of North Raleigh — Wakefield, Stonehenge, and the communities along Falls of Neuse. The family ownership shows in the store culture: no pressure sales, genuine product knowledge from staff who use what they sell, and a willingness to spend time with first-time visitors. The selection focuses on THCa flower and Delta-8, making it easier to navigate for shoppers new to hemp dispensaries. If personalized guidance in a low-key environment matters more to you than maximum variety, this is the North Raleigh shop to know.
