Apotheca Cannabis Dispensary - Glenwood Ave
6904 Glenwood Ave, Raleigh, NC 27612
Apotheca's Glenwood Avenue store is the chain's Northwest Raleigh location, on the stretch of Glenwood heading out toward Brier Creek rather than the nightlife end downtown. It is the newest of the five Apotheca listings in this directory and still building its review base at 32, though it holds a 4.9 rating and the comments are consistent about a knowledgeable team and a straightforward buying experience. The chain carries kratom and mushroom products alongside the standard THCa flower, edibles, and vapes, which sets it apart from most Raleigh shops. The hours are the real draw: 8am to 10pm Monday through Saturday and noon to 10pm Sunday, a 14-hour weekday window that opens earlier than nearly anything else in Raleigh and closes later than most. For Northwest Raleigh and Brier Creek that is a genuine before-work and after-dinner option without driving inside the Beltline.
CannaCraft Raleigh THCa Dispensary
741 W Johnson St, Raleigh, NC 27603
CannaCraft is a small THCa dispensary on West Johnson Street in Raleigh's Glenwood South and Smoky Hollow area, a block off Glenwood Avenue and walkable from the apartments that have filled in around Peace Street. It is one of the smallest listings in this directory by review count at 13, holding a 4.7 rating, and the shop keeps its own profile sparse: it describes itself simply as a THCa dispensary, with selection the only theme customers have raised so far. Delivery is listed as a service option, which is uncommon for a shop of this size and worth asking about. The store does not publish hours on its Google profile, so call (919) 615-3999 before heading over rather than assuming a standard window. Debit is accepted. For downtown residents it is the closest THCa option to the Glenwood South corridor without crossing into the Hillsborough Street cluster.
Cannapa THCa - N Market Dr
1606 N Market Dr, Raleigh, NC 27609
Cannapa THCa is a hemp dispensary at 1606 N Market Dr in Raleigh, NC, specializing in THCa flower and concentrates. This midtown Raleigh location takes a boutique approach to cannabis retail, focusing on a curated selection of quality flower and concentrates rather than overwhelming variety, with knowledgeable staff who help customers find the right strain and format. The N Market Drive store serves the midtown Raleigh corridor between downtown and North Raleigh, convenient for shoppers in Mordecai, Person Street, and the areas east of downtown. Cannapa runs three other Raleigh locations (Capital Blvd, Hillsborough St, and New Bern Ave), each open until 10pm daily for evening visits. The brand has built a following for THCa flower quality, and this location maintains that reputation with a rotating selection of indoor-grown strains alongside concentrates. Product COAs are available in-store for every batch, important for shoppers who want to verify potency and purity before purchasing.
NC Hemp Shoppe - Glenwood
609 Glenwood Ave, Raleigh, NC 27603
NC Hemp Shoppe is a hemp dispensary at 609 Glenwood Ave in Raleigh, NC, specializing in THCa flower, Delta-9, Delta-8, concentrates, and glass accessories. The Glenwood Avenue location caters to the entertainment district crowd with some of the latest hemp retail hours in the Triangle, open until 1am on Thursday and 3am on Friday and Saturday. Glenwood Avenue is Raleigh's most concentrated nightlife and dining corridor, and NC Hemp Shoppe sits right in the middle of it between the restaurants of Glenwood South and the bars that keep the street busy until the early morning hours. The late hours make it the go-to option for anyone looking to pick up before or after a night out. The selection is broader here than at the Creedmoor Road location, adding concentrates and glass to the full cannabinoid menu. Both NC Hemp Shoppe locations are award-winning and part of the same locally owned operation that earned Best of Raleigh recognition.
Redhead Hemp
1809 Glenwood Ave, Raleigh, NC 27608
Redhead Hemp is a hemp dispensary at 1809 Glenwood Ave in Raleigh, NC, specializing in THCa flower, edibles, Delta-8, and Delta-9. The shop offers premium CBD, Delta-8, Delta-9, and THCa alongside inhalables and edibles in a boutique retail setting. The Five Points location draws a mix of neighborhood regulars and visitors exploring Raleigh's most active restaurant and retail district. Glenwood Avenue through the Five Points neighborhood is one of Raleigh's most consistent year-round destinations, with independent restaurants, boutiques, and bars drawing locals and visitors alike. Redhead Hemp fits the character of the block, a boutique-scale shop with a considered product selection rather than a wholesale approach to cannabinoid variety. 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.
Glenwood Avenue is one of Raleigh's main north-south arteries, running from the warehouse district near downtown through Five Points, past the Crabtree Valley Mall area, and into North Hills. The corridor sees heavy daily traffic from commuters, residents, and visitors to the city's restaurant and entertainment scene. Five hemp shops serve this market today, spread from the 600 block out past Crabtree to the 6900 block.
NC Hemp Shoppe's Glenwood location at 609 Glenwood Ave is closest to downtown and convenient for residents inside the beltline. Redhead Hemp at 1809 Glenwood Ave serves the upper stretch of the corridor near North Hills. Cannapa THCa on North Market Drive sits just off the Glenwood corridor and is easy to reach from the Northwest area of Raleigh. CannaCraft on West Johnson Street is a block off Glenwood in the Smoky Hollow area, walkable from much of downtown, and Apotheca at 6904 Glenwood Ave anchors the far northwest end past Crabtree with an 8am open, among the earliest in the city.
This area offers the easiest access for residents who live inside the I-440 beltline without wanting to drive to North Raleigh or Capital Boulevard. All five shops have dedicated parking, though CannaCraft is the one you can reach on foot from the downtown apartment corridor. Weekend mornings tend to be less busy here compared to late afternoons and evenings. The Glenwood corridor also has some of the Triangle's best dinner options nearby if you're making a combined trip.
