Charlotte’s Cannabis Community Guide: Dispensaries, Markets, & Infused Eats

In rapid succession, the Queen City has built a thriving cannabis culture. From hemp-derived Delta-9 products to infused dinners and trendy, local markets, the cannabis scene here is growing fast. Whether you’re curious about dispensaries, social spots, or the food culture around it, Charlotte is carving out its own unique cannabis identity.

Apotheca Cannabis Dispensary

The staff are both friendly and knowledgeable, making it a comfortable place for both first-timers and seasoned cannabis consumers. 

Crowntown Cannabis

With multiple locations across Charlotte—including: NoDa, South End, and Plaza Midwood—Crowntown Cannabis has become a community hub. Beyond retail, they’ve hosted infused dinners and special events that highlight cannabis as a cultural experience. Crowntown embodies Charlotte’s creative approach to blending cannabis, food, and community.

Rhino Market & Deli

Rhino Market has long been a local favorite for sandwiches, craft beer, and neighborhood charm. It’s also a space where culture meets convenience, serving as a gathering point for Charlotteans who love good food and good vibes. Its role in the cannabis-adjacent scene continues to grow as the city embraces more hemp-derived products and infused options.

Common Market

Known for its quirky personality and eclectic offerings, Common Market is another Charlotte institution with deep neighborhood roots. With locations in Plaza Midwood and South End, it’s the kind of place where you can pick up a snack, a drink, and catch a slice of local culture all in one stop. It fits right into the city’s evolving cannabis-friendly ecosystem.

Spinellos: Taking Charlotte Infused Edibles to the Next Level

And then there’s Spinellos—this Delta-9 infused frozen pizza has found a home in Charlotte alongside these local favorites. While brownies and gummies may be the classics, pizza is the ultimate shareable food, and this just happens to be infused. With options like our 80mg pizza, it’s a fun, flavorful way to bring cannabis culture home, whether you’re hosting friends or just kicking back on a Sunday night.

Spinellos is proud to be part of this growing movement and to sit on the shelves of Charlotte staples like Apotheca, Crowntown Cannabis, Rhino Market, and Common Market. Together, these spots show how Queen City’s cannabis culture is growing—one infused bite at a time.

What’s exciting about Charlotte is how cannabis culture is emerging organically through community spaces, dispensaries, and food. From infused dinners at Crowntown, to casual neighborhood markets, to dispensaries like Apotheca, the city is slowly building its own flavor of cannabis lifestyle.
