Carolina Hemp Hut stores and online store have been delivering results since we opened. Our goal is to provide both a superior customer experience and tremendous value for our customers while helping people lead healthier lives
Mary Lopez Carter has gained significant experience with aspects of Industrial Hemp and its uses and is passionate about helping people learn more and helping YOU by exceeding your expectations. She created Hemp Oil Rockstar to help people via an e-commerce site. As that site grew in significance and traffic, she realized she needed a physical storefront to help meet her audience’s needs. This led to the creation of the Carolina Hemp Hut.

History of Helping People
The Carolina Hemp Hut was established in 2018.
Mary Lopez Carter founded Hemp Oil Rockstar in early 2018 after she did copious research into products which would help her husband, David Pratt Carter, beat cancer (he had malignant intracranial primary melanoma). She discovered the promising impact of CBD on people’s health. Soon after finding success with Hemp Oil Rockstar, she rented space at the Streets at Southpoint mall in Durham, NC to establish a more permanent location to help people of the community with better health options. Now, the Carolina Hemp Hut stores have grown to multiple locations throughout the Triangle Area of North Carolina.
The Flagship store was opened officially on May 1, 2019 (after a 4/20 preview day) at 137 Mayo Street in Hillsborough. The training programs and hemp education sessions began in early May. Currently, over 2,000 people a month build their understanding of Hemp and CBD from the team at Carolina Hemp Hut.
Mary and the team continue to educate consumers with information from scientists, researchers and medical professionals on the benefits of hemp oil extracts. They now have multiple locations in the NC Triangle area and service retail and wholesale accounts across the United States.
Meet the team
The Carolina Hemp Hut is a fun team with diverse backgrounds and education. The team coalesces around hemp and botanical health options to help more friends, neighbors and customers find better health with hemp and other plant-based products. The two main shops are maintained by our core group of consultants and budtenders along with our production/operatios management duo.

As a transplant to NC, he knew it was vital to get into the local “weeds” to understand the competitive landscape and production capabilities locally. His research and product expansion strategies have led to a tremendous boost in product SKUs for the Carolina Hemp Hut stores.
Carlos McCabe
Cannabis Consultant and Sr. Budtender
Carlos approaches cannabis products from a very common view point. As an adult, he learned “adulting” is not easy. When dealing with hardships that are common to the burdens of everyday life, he discovered how cannabis helps ease away the anxiety that normally builds to a breaking point. He delved into learning more and experiencing more in the process. This journey helped him become well-seasoned with an array of cannabis forms and uses.
He’s coupled this with a significantly deeper education process at the Carolina Hemp Hut to help him become one of the resident experts in recreational AND therapeutic cannabis uses. He’s motivated by happy customers and appreciates questions and feedback.

Meet the Founder
Mary Lopez Carter appreciates people and wants more people to secure better health and a higher quality of life. She’s has a heart for serving and strives to assist people whenever possible. Her journey with the Carolina Hemp Hut began as a result of her desire to help her husband beat cancer.
She’s embraced more natural methods of healing along with many Western methods. The strong Peruvian influence of her family has led her to research botanical health solutions from around the world. Her research has led to many more botanical health options becoming available for her customers.
She continues that journey and hopes to bring other people along the path to better health. Join her on the journey to good health!
