Locally Grown • Community-Focused • Quality-Driven

Hello, Charlotte! We’re Higher Education Dispensary, your new neighbor just minutes from the Charlotte Douglas Airport. As Charlotte’s premier destination for HEMP and THCA, we’re proud to offer clean, high-quality products and a welcoming space where education and wellness go hand in hand.

Whether you’re brand new to hemp or already a believer in its benefits, our mission is to help you feel informed, confident, and excited about your experience.

Who We Are

We’re a locally owned and operated dispensary with deep Carolina roots. Our journey starts with partnering directly with a seasoned North Carolina hemp farmer who brings more than 15 years of cultivation experience. Every product we carry reflects that same commitment to care, quality, and transparency.

Our name, Higher Education, is more than a clever nod. It reflects our belief in educating our community about the benefits of cannabinoids like THCA—and helping you make choices that support your lifestyle and well-being.

What is THCA?

THCA (tetrahydrocannabinolic acid) is a naturally occurring compound found in raw hemp. Unlike THC, THCA is non-psychoactive in its raw form, meaning it won’t cause a high unless it’s heated through smoking, vaping, or cooking.

Why is THCA gaining attention? Research and anecdotal reports suggest it may offer a range of potential benefits, including:

• • Anti-inflammatory support
• • Relief from nausea
• • Appetite stimulation
• • Neuroprotective properties

At Higher Education Dispensary, we offer a thoughtfully selected collection of THCA flower, pre-rolls, and concentrates—all third-party tested for safety, purity, and potency.
