Burlington dispensary directory — questions we hear a lot

ID rules, payment, craft flower, tourist access, and more.

How do I find a dispensary near me in Burlington?

Use our interactive dispensary map or filter the directory by city. Downtown Burlington, South Burlington, Williston, and Winooski all have multiple licensed recreational dispensaries within a short drive of UVM and the waterfront.

Which Burlington dispensaries have the best craft flower?

Burlington-area dispensaries that consistently feature Vermont-grown craft flower include Float On, Mountain Girl Cannabis, and several small-batch-focused retailers. Look for "small batch" or named-farm labeling on the menu, and ask the budtender which cultivators they stock.

Are there 24-hour dispensaries in Vermont?

No. Vermont CCB regulations require dispensaries to close by a state-defined hour and no Vermont dispensary operates 24/7. Most Burlington dispensaries are open roughly 10am–8pm, with slightly later hours on Fridays and Saturdays. Always check each dispensary's hours before driving.

Can tourists buy cannabis at Vermont dispensaries?

Yes. Vermont does not require state residency — any adult 21+ with a valid government-issued photo ID can purchase at a licensed dispensary. Remember that transporting cannabis across state lines (including into New Hampshire, New York, or Quebec) is federally illegal.

Do Burlington dispensaries accept credit cards?

Most Vermont dispensaries do not accept credit cards due to federal banking restrictions. Nearly all accept cash, and many support cashless ATM / debit card transactions. ATMs are usually available on-site if you forget cash.

What's the difference between a recreational and a medical dispensary in Vermont?

Recreational dispensaries serve adults 21+ with a photo ID. Medical dispensaries serve Vermont residents with a state-issued medical cannabis registry card (18+ with qualifying condition). Medical patients get sales-tax exemption, higher possession limits, and access to a broader product range.

How many cannabis dispensaries are in Burlington, Vermont?

The Burlington metro area (Burlington, South Burlington, Winooski, Colchester, Williston, Essex) has the densest concentration of licensed cannabis dispensaries in Vermont. New CCB-licensed retailers continue to open — check our directory for the current count.

Which Burlington dispensary is best for first-timers?

For a welcoming first visit, look for a recreational dispensary with patient, educational budtenders — smaller shops often spend more time walking new customers through the menu. Read the individual dispensary pages for vibe notes and start with a low-dose edible or pre-roll.

About this directory

Data source. Every dispensary listed here holds an active adult-use or medical retail license issued by the Vermont Cannabis Control Board (CCB). We cross-reference the CCB public licensee list to add new shops and remove any that close or lose their license. Data was last verified in June 2026.

Editorial independence. Featured placements (homepage picks, "best for" callouts, and curated lists) are chosen on editorial merit — hours, accessibility, product selection, and verified community reputation. We do not accept payment for placement in any list or ranking. The Mudd packaging partnership on this site is a clearly labelled B2B sponsor relationship; it has no influence on dispensary rankings or reviews.

Corrections. Hours, addresses, and deals change frequently in the Vermont cannabis market. If you spot an error, email [email protected] and we'll verify and update within 48 hours.
