Aloha Plus Cannabinoids
9650 Leesville Rd, Raleigh, NC 27613
Aloha Plus is a hemp dispensary at 9650 Leesville Rd in Raleigh, NC, specializing in THCa flower, Delta-8, and indoor-grown hemp flower. It is the Triangle's first healthcare-provider-owned cannabinoid store, bringing a clinical perspective to hemp retail in Northwest Raleigh. The shop carries a broad range including CBD, THCv, CBG, CBN, Delta-8, and indoor-grown hemp flower, with staff trained to guide customers based on wellness goals. The healthcare provider ownership fundamentally changes the consultation experience here. Rather than recreational sales framing, Aloha Plus approaches product recommendations the way a clinician approaches options, with questions about symptoms, goals, and health context before suggesting anything. The minor cannabinoid selection reflects this: CBG for focus, CBN for sleep, THCv for appetite management, and CBD for general wellness sit alongside mainstream THCa and Delta-8. Located on Leesville Road near the Brier Creek area, Aloha Plus serves a suburban market that skews toward health-motivated hemp users rather than recreational consumers.
Cannapa THCa - Newton Rd
240 Newton Rd, Raleigh, NC 27615
The Newton Road Cannapa is the chain's North Raleigh store, tucked into a suite off the Six Forks and Newton Road area inside the I-540 loop. It describes itself as a small-batch THCa dispensary, and the review themes back that framing up: flower selection is the single most discussed thing about the shop, followed by the general atmosphere, with edibles and liquid syrups mentioned alongside. It holds a 5.0 rating across nearly 290 reviews. Hours are 10am to 10pm seven days a week, matching the rest of the chain and running later than most North Raleigh shops, which tend to close between 7pm and 9pm. That makes it a practical evening stop for the neighborhoods around North Hills and Six Forks without driving down to the Capital Boulevard corridor. The store is in-store shopping only, with credit and debit accepted at the counter.
Carolindica - Creedmoor Rd
6300 Creedmoor Rd, Raleigh, NC 27612
Carolindica's Creedmoor Road store is the newest of the brand's four Triangle locations and its North Raleigh entry, sitting in a suite on the Creedmoor corridor within a mile of two other hemp shops. Carolindica is vertically integrated, formulating, manufacturing, and packaging its own craft products rather than reselling, which is the thread running through all four stores and the reason gummies dominate this location's review themes. Flower selection and broader cannabinoid products fill out the rest of the case. Reviewers describe the staff as pleasant and unhurried, and several mention the store being new, which fits a location still building its review base at 138. It holds a 4.9 rating. Hours run 10am to 9pm Monday through Thursday, 10am to 10pm Friday and Saturday, and a shorter 11am to 7pm Sunday. The store is in-store shopping with credit accepted.
Elevation Hemp Company
8111 Rowlock Way, Raleigh, NC 27613
Elevation Hemp Company is a wellness-oriented hemp dispensary at 8111 Rowlock Way in Raleigh, NC, specializing in Delta-8 THC, CBD, and hemp-derived products. Located in Northwest Raleigh near NC 540, it offers products available for in-store pickup, local delivery, or shipping, three purchase options that make it accessible whether you prefer browsing in person or ordering from home. The Rowlock Way address puts Elevation in the northwest quadrant of Raleigh near the 540 outer loop, convenient for residents of Brier Creek, Leesville, and the communities between Crabtree Valley and Cary. The wellness focus distinguishes Elevation from higher-potency dispensaries: the emphasis is on functional hemp products, CBD tinctures, Delta-8 for relaxation, supplemental cannabinoids, rather than THCa flower for recreational use. The three fulfillment options (in-store, local delivery, and shipping) give Elevation meaningful reach beyond its immediate neighborhood. An accessible starting point for hemp newcomers who are not ready to walk into a THCa-forward dispensary.
Modern Apotheca
8604 Falls of Neuse Rd, Raleigh, NC 27615
Modern Apotheca is a hemp dispensary at 8604 Falls of Neuse Rd in Raleigh, NC, specializing in THCa flower. The shop doubles as a hemp dispensary and home to The Burnt Pot Cafe, launched in 2021 as one of the nation's first hemp cafes with a 21+ members-only lounge. Free same-day delivery within 30 miles, no minimum order, covers 14 Triangle-area cities daily from 4-10pm. The concept is unlike anything else in the Triangle: a hemp dispensary with a functioning cafe in a members-only lounge environment. Launched in 2021, Modern Apotheca carved out a niche as a destination rather than just a retail stop. The Falls of Neuse Road address is convenient for North Raleigh residents near New Light Road and beyond. The free delivery program is one of the most accessible in the region, no minimum order, 14 cities covered, running every evening from 4 to 10pm. THCa flower, CBD, and wellness products are available both in-store and via delivery.
NC Hemp Shoppe
6030 Creedmoor Rd, Raleigh, NC 27612
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
6500 Falls of Neuse Rd, Raleigh, NC 27615
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.
The Hemp Store
5801 Farmwell Rd, Raleigh, NC 27610
The Hemp Store is a hemp dispensary at 5801 Farmwell Road in Southwest Raleigh, founded in 2017 by Tanya Durand as the first woman and minority-owned cannabis dispensary in North Carolina. Durand started the business after CBD helped her overcome chronic migraines and postpartum depression. Every product is US-made and third-party lab tested, covering THCa, CBD, HHC, Delta-8, and Delta-9. The Farmwell Road location serves Southwest Raleigh near the Garner border, an area underserved by hemp retail. The founding story matters here, Durand built this business from personal experience with CBD's therapeutic benefits, and that background shapes how staff approach customer consultations. There is particular emphasis on helping shoppers understand what products might address their specific wellness goals. The selection spans a wider cannabinoid range than most Raleigh dispensaries, including HHC and CBN alongside the standard THCa and Delta-9 offerings, giving health-focused shoppers more targeted options.
Trek CBD
3434 Edwards Mill Rd, Raleigh, NC 27612
Trek CBD is a hemp dispensary at 3434 Edwards Mill Rd in Raleigh, NC, specializing in Delta-8 THC, Delta-9 THC, and edibles. Located near Crabtree Valley Mall, it takes an education-forward approach, with staff focused on understanding each customer's wellness goals before recommending products. The curated selection of CBD and hemp-derived products emphasizes quality and value without overwhelming newcomers. The Edwards Mill Road location places Trek CBD in the Crabtree Valley corridor, convenient for shoppers from North Hills, Midtown, and Brier Creek who may be stopping before or after visiting the mall. The education mission is genuine: staff are trained to ask what you are trying to accomplish before pointing you toward a product, making Trek a strong option for first-time hemp buyers who find bigger dispensaries overwhelming. The product selection prioritizes CBD and Delta-8 with Delta-9 edibles, rather than leading with high-potency THCa flower. A patient, approachable experience for wellness-focused shoppers in the Crabtree area.
Triangle Hemp Wellness
4701 Creedmoor Rd, Raleigh, NC 27612
Triangle Hemp Wellness is a hemp dispensary at 4701 Creedmoor Rd in Raleigh, NC, specializing in THCa flower, Delta-9 and Delta-8, vapes, and edibles. Located near Crabtree Valley Mall, it stocks one of the widest cannabinoid menus in North Raleigh, covering Delta-8, THCa, THC-P, Delta-10, Delta-9, CBD, and Kava in formats from vapes to tinctures, a strong option for experienced consumers seeking variety and less common cannabinoids. The Creedmoor Road location puts Triangle Hemp Wellness in the heart of the Crabtree Valley retail zone, accessible from surrounding North Raleigh neighborhoods and from I-440. The cannabinoid breadth is genuinely notable, most Triangle dispensaries carry four or five cannabinoids at most, but Triangle Hemp Wellness adds THCP, Delta-10, and Kava to the standard menu. The variety of formats (vapes, tinctures, edibles, flower) compounds the selection depth, making this the best North Raleigh option for experienced consumers who have moved past the basics. Closing times are earlier than most competitors, so morning and afternoon visits work better than after-work stops.
North Raleigh stretches from I-440 north through the communities of North Hills, Midtown, and into the suburbs beyond I-540. This is Raleigh's most expansive dispensary zone by geography, with ten shops spread across Creedmoor Road, Falls of Neuse Road, Edwards Mill Road, Leesville Road, Newton Road, and other corridors. The area attracts residents from Raleigh's most populated zip codes, and shops here tend to reflect that with well-stocked inventories and knowledgeable staff.
The Falls of Neuse corridor stands out as the anchor. Modern Apotheca at 8604 Falls of Neuse is widely regarded as one of the best-run shops in the Triangle, known for its trained staff and curated product selection. The Hemp Company at 6500 Falls of Neuse and The Hemp Store near Farmwell Road round out that corridor. Creedmoor Road now has three shops within a mile and a half of each other: Triangle Hemp Wellness at 4701, NC Hemp Shoppe at 6030, and Carolindica at 6300, the newest of that brand's four Triangle stores. Cannapa THCa's Newton Road shop sits east of them off Six Forks and stays open until 10pm every night, later than anything else in North Raleigh.
All ten of these locations are car-dependent destinations with dedicated parking. Hours tend to be more consistent here than in some other parts of the city, with most shops open seven days a week, though the range runs wide: Triangle Hemp Wellness closes at 4pm and opens only Monday through Wednesday, while Cannapa on Newton Road runs 10am to 10pm daily. If you're coming from south or central Raleigh, Falls of Neuse Road off Capital Blvd is the most direct route to the heart of the North Raleigh dispensary cluster.
