What are the Best Dispensaries in Charlotte, North Carolina, and How Do I Locate Them?
The medical and other benefits of legal marijuana are already celebrated in many states across America. As more research highlights these benefits, states lagging in the legalization of such products are likely to flip the coin and allow, at least, medical marijuana for everyday use – as long as it is prescribed by a qualified team like us at Charlotte Marijuana Doctor.
In the meantime, we’d like to cover some of the more interesting and upcoming Charlotte, North Carolina dispensaries, as well as those likely to crop up once the legal barriers become outdated. This is based on readily available research online, so any future dispensaries that may be in private development may be omitted from our carefully sourced list.
Starting with Some Legal Context
Before we hit our list of the best dispensaries in Charlotte, North Carolina, it helps to give some context. Medical marijuana is not yet approved for everyday use in Charlotte. As this is typically the first step toward recreational use, you can count that out as well.
However, you can purchase products made from hemp extracts in the same vein as CBD hemp oils. There are numerous bills in front of the state house and overwhelming public support that make it a safe bet to say you can expect medical marijuana to be widely available soon.
For example, it is legal to purchase such products on tribal land from the Eastern Band of Cherokee. As the state will want to secure the income and infrastructure from taxes gained from medical marijuana, we should see movement quickly.
For now, let’s get to our list of recognized and stable dispensaries in Charlotte, North Carolina, which will quickly be coming online once a corresponding bill passes.
Top Dispensaries in Charlotte
We should specify that even though many of these local Charlotte, North Carolina dispensaries have broader online services related to THC and CBD products, they cannot sell anything over three-tenths of one percent (0.3%) on a dry weight basis. While CBD is entirely legal, THC carries this restriction for now.

Criteria Used to List Charlotte, North Carolina Dispensaries
It would be incredibly easy to simply copy and paste what is found on Yelp for the best dispensaries in Charlotte, North Carolina, but we wanted to go a bit further. When we compiled our list, we looked at the online reviews and previous experience our clients have had with the shops.
We also must be able to review a website. If a dispensary doesn’t have a website, we cannot verify it is following all current industry standards and legal requirements of the state. That is a big red flag for us because we only want to recommend dispensaries we know our clients can use.
Finally, we love variety. The beauty of CBD, THC, and future medical marijuana products is that they can be used in so many different ways. You don’t have to be restricted to a pill or liquid. You can get edibles, gummies, tinctures, and even spaghetti sauce! That variety is a big selling point with us as many of our clients have such chronic pain that they don’t want a form factor that fits their needs.

The future of Charlotte, North Carolina dispensaries is bright! The laws are slowly being changed, and public support is at an all-time high (no pun intended). The more local residents experience pain relief and other benefits from medical marijuana, the greater the call for legalization.
