42 Degrees sits in the Welch Plaza center at 180th & Q, out on the southwest edge of Omaha. If you're in Millard, west toward 192nd, or anywhere across the 68135 stretch, this is the closest 42 Degrees to you. Hemp-derived THC and Delta 9, CBD, kratom, vapes, glass and smoke shop supplies — lab tested, and staff who'll walk you through it rather than point at a shelf. Open daily, 8am to 10pm. Parking's right out front.
This is the Southwest Omaha store — the one people mean when they say 180th & Q. Everything's here: hemp-derived THC and Delta 9, CBD, kratom, vape gear, and the full smoke shop side with glass, grinders and papers. If you've been driving out to 168th or further east for any of it, that trip's over.
Every CBD, THC and Delta 9 product on the Welch Plaza shelves goes through third-party lab testing before it gets stocked. Want to see the certificate of analysis on something? Ask at the counter. Someone will pull it up while you wait — it's a normal request, not an awkward one.
Nicotine and dry herb, both sides stocked — disposables, pods, box mods, juice, batteries, and portable vaporizers. Full detail further down the page. 21+ with photo ID.
Five things bring most people through the door at Welch Plaza.
Here’s each one.
Most people walking in at 180th & Q head for the CBD shelves first. Oils and tinctures, edibles, topicals like balms and roll-ons, and a small pet range.
Everything hemp-derived, everything third-party lab-tested. Ask for the COA on any product and staff will pull it up at the counter — you don’t have to email anyone or wait.
New to CBD? Say so. The useful conversation isn’t about the milligram number on the front of the box; it’s about which format actually fits how you plan to use it. That’s a two-minute chat, not a sales pitch.

This is the part people get wrong most often, so here’s the plain version.
Nebraska has no recreational market. What sits on the shelves at Welch Plaza is hemp-derived Delta 9 — legal under the 2018 Farm Bill and the Nebraska Hemp Farming Act, at a Delta 9 THC concentration that doesn’t exceed 0.3% on a dry weight basis.
In practice, that means gummies, edibles, drinks, pre-rolls, cartridges, and disposables. Third-party lab tested, all of it. 21 and over, ID checked at the register, every single time.
Want to read the paperwork before you buy? Ask. COAs are available on request for anything in the case.
Two different things share the word “vape,” and this store stocks both.
The nicotine side: disposable e-cigs, pod systems, box mods, and a full juice wall. Replacement batteries and 510-thread as well, if you’re topping up rather than starting over.
The dry-herb and concentrate side: portable vaporizers, plus hybrid units that handle both.
Bring your current device if you’re upgrading or replacing something. Matching a pod or a coil in person takes about thirty seconds. Describing one over the phone takes a lot longer.
21+ with valid photo ID on anything in this category.
The back half of the store is the smoke shop proper. Hand pipes and water pipes, silicone for anyone who’s broken one too many, scientific glass for people who care about the difference. Then the everyday stuff — grinders, trays, cones, papers, torches, lighters, butane, cleaners, odor sprays.
The price range is wide on purpose. There’s a cheap grinder, and there’s a nice grinder, and both have their moment.
Parking is right out front in the Welch Plaza lot, so it’s an easy in-and-out if you’re only stopping for papers.
Who Shops Here
The Welch Plaza store draws from the west and southwest side — Millard, the newer builds out past 180th, the Q Street corridor, and plenty of people cutting through from Gretna or Elkhorn on the way home.
Which means the questions run the full range. Someone’s buying their first CBD tincture; someone else already knows exactly which extract they want. Staff here are used to both ends of that.
Never bought hemp-derived THC before? Say so on the way in. It’s the most common thing people ask about at this location and there’s no wrong way to ask it. Milligram counts, the difference between a gummy and a cartridge, which format suits what you’re after — that’s two minutes at the counter, and it stops you buying the wrong thing twice.
