Oak City Dispensary

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.

NC Hemp Shoppe is a hemp dispensary at 6030 Creedmoor Road in North Raleigh, voted Best of Raleigh hemp store and named an IndyWeek Best of the Triangle runner-up. The shop carries premium THCa flower, Delta-9 gummies, Delta-8, and CBD, with staff 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.

The Hemp Company is a family owned hemp dispensary at 6500 Falls of Neuse Rd in Raleigh, NC, carrying one of the Triangle's largest selections of THCa flower and CBD flower alongside CBD edibles and topicals, Delta-9 edibles and beverages, THCa concentrates, vapes, tinctures, and accessories. Dr. John Boccella and his wife Carol started it in 2018 as a small CBD shelf inside his North Raleigh chiropractic office, and opened the standalone store on April 20, 2019. That origin still shapes the shop. Staff lead with a personal consultation and product education rather than a potency pitch, which is why the store earns physician referrals alongside walk-in traffic from North Ridge, Wakefield, Stonehenge, and the neighborhoods along Falls of Neuse. Flower is graded across three tiers, Meditate for indoor, Levitate for indoor plus, and Elevate for exotic and small batch, so the same wall serves a first-time CBD buyer and a connoisseur. Every product is third party tested and the lab reports are published openly rather than kept behind the counter. The shop has placed in the Raleigh's Best awards four times, taking Bronze for Best Smoke/Vape Shop in 2024, Bronze for Best CBD Shop and Silver for Best Customer Service in 2023, and Bronze for Best CBD Shop in 2022. Curbside pickup is typically ready within 15 minutes. If you want guidance and documentation more than a self-serve browse, this is the North Raleigh shop to know.
