News & Regulations

What’s Happening in North Carolina Cannabis Right Now

Stay ahead without spending hours wading through North Carolina legislator legal jargon.

STAY COMPLIANT

Play by The Rules
(and Win).

In North Carolina, while marijuana remains illegal, the 2018 Farm Bill legalized hemp and its derivatives containing less than 0.3% delta-9 THC on a dry weight basis. This federal legislation has enabled the sale of hemp-derived products, including those containing delta-8 and delta-9 THC, within the state.
In response to the unregulated market, the North Carolina General Assembly has considered bills to establish guidelines for hemp-derived consumables. For instance, House Bill 563, introduced in 2023, aimed to regulate the sale and distribution of these products, including setting age limits and quality standards. However, as of December 2024, comprehensive regulations have yet to be enacted.

  • Compliance with Federal Law: Ensure all products contain less than 0.3% delta-9 THC on a dry weight basis to remain compliant with federal law.
  • Self-Regulation: In the absence of state regulations, consider implementing internal policies such as age verification, product testing, and clear labeling to build consumer trust and mitigate potential legal risks.
  • Stay Informed: Monitor legislative developments to adapt to any new regulations that may impact the sale and marketing of hemp-derived products in North Carolina.

Operating in this evolving legal landscape requires vigilance and a proactive approach to ensure compliance and maintain consumer confidence.

How Do I Make My Dispensary Stand Out?

Based on our BNCHMRK data top-performing dispensaries excel by building robust loyalty programs, with dataset averages showing a 55% opt-in rate for new customers. Success comes from maintaining high customer review rates above 4% for new customers, while achieving a 65% marketing opt-in rate through personalized communications. Creating distinctive brand positioning and optimizing customer experience are crucial differentiators in the market.

What Are The Current Regulations For Selling Delta-8 THC Products In North Carolina?

Under North Carolina law, Delta-8 THC products derived from hemp are currently in a complex legal position. While hemp-derived products were effectively legalized through the federal Farm Bill of 2018, North Carolina operates under state regulations that provide certain key restrictions. Sales must comply with federal guidelines regarding hemp-derived products, including maintaining Delta-9 THC concentrations below 0.3%. Products must undergo third-party laboratory testing for potency and contaminants. Sellers should maintain detailed records of testing results and product origins. Products must also include clear labeling with contents and appropriate warnings. However, since regulations can change and interpretation of laws can vary, sellers should consult with legal counsel to ensure full compliance with current state and federal requirements.

How Can I Increase My Dispensary Traffic?

Our BNCHMRK data reveals successful dispensaries achieve a 56.9 average marketing efficiency ratio (MER) and maintain a $1.15 average cost per order (CPO). With an impressive 82% customer return rate, these results come from combining strategic local dispensary SEO optimization with targeted cannabis email marketing campaigns that drive consistent traffic growth.
