About Colchester
The cannabis scene
Colchester is Chittenden County's second-largest municipality and one of Vermont's fastest-growing towns, with roughly 19,000 residents spread across a mix of suburban neighborhoods, agricultural land, and the Champlain shoreline. Saint Michael's College (~1,300 students) sits at One Winooski Park on the town's southern edge, just off Route 15 near the Winooski line. Despite all this, Colchester has not voted to opt into adult-use cannabis retail — as of the Vermont Cannabis Control Board's June 2026 licensee list, zero CCB-licensed dispensaries operate within town limits.
The good news: Winooski shares a southern border with Colchester, putting three licensed dispensaries within a 5–8 minute drive down US-2. Hello, Hi (46 Main St, Winooski) was the first Vermont dispensary to hold both a recreational and medical license at one address, open until 8 PM Thursday–Sunday. Dome City Club (147 E Allen St) and Winooski Organics (165 E Allen St) are both on the same block, walkable from each other — Dome City is known for its loyalty tiers and Winooski Organics for locally sourced craft flower.
If you're on the I-89 corridor near the Colchester town center or coming from the Malletts Bay / Airport Road side, Essex Junction shops are about 12–15 minutes south via I-89 or Williston Road. Magic Mann Premium Cannabis (21 Essex Way, Suite 216) carries both recreational and medical products under an integrated license (open Monday–Saturday 10 AM–9 PM); The High Bar (159 Pearl St) accepts Apple Pay and credit cards — rare in Vermont's cash-heavy market. Sweetspot (139 Pearl St) is on the same block as The High Bar, making it easy to compare two shops in one trip.
For those heading north, Milton has two dispensaries on the US-7 corridor: 3 J's Cannabis (546 US Route 7) and Milton Remedies (3 Southerberry Dr), both about 10–12 minutes from Colchester's northern neighborhoods. Milton Remedies offers a $1 first purchase for new customers and a Vermont resident discount.
Getting around
Colchester is a car-dependent town — most residents drive to Winooski via US-2 south or to Essex Junction via I-89 south to exit 12 (Williston Road/Essex). The Winooski roundabout is the fastest cannabis run for most Colchester addresses: exit US-2 at Main Street Winooski and you're at Hello, Hi or the East Allen block within two minutes. Saint Michael's College students can bike or take Green Mountain Transit Route 2 (Essex–Winooski–Burlington), which runs along Route 15 past the campus and into the Winooski roundabout. Free parking is standard at all nearby dispensaries.
