About Morrisville

The cannabis scene

Morrisville is the county seat of Lamoille County and home to four CCB-licensed adult-use cannabis dispensaries — the largest concentration in the county. The shops spread across three roads: Higher Elevation in Northgate Plaza on Northgate Ave., Craft Cannabis Company in the downtown core on Hutchins St., Best Buds on Stafford Ave. near Hannaford, and Freedom Flower Direct on Route 15 at the western edge of town.

For Stowe visitors, Morrisville is the north-cluster alternative to Waterbury Center: take Route 100 North from Stowe village to VT-15 East, about 15 minutes. If you're staying near Smugglers' Notch or in a rental north of Stowe village, Morrisville is the shorter drive.

Getting around

From Stowe village: Route 100 North to VT-15 East — about 15 minutes. From Burlington: I-89 south to Exit 10 (Waterbury), then Route 100 north through Waterbury Center and Stowe village, then continue north on Route 100 to VT-15. About 55 minutes total. Free parking at all four shops. Higher Elevation (Northgate Plaza) is the most visible from the main road; Freedom Flower Direct (Route 15 west) requires a short turn off the main corridor.

Morrisville dispensary FAQs

Local answers from operating in this market.

How many cannabis dispensaries are in Morrisville, VT?

Four CCB-licensed adult-use cannabis dispensaries operate in Morrisville: Higher Elevation (65 Northgate Ave., Suite 6), Craft Cannabis Company (46 Hutchins St., Suite 2), Best Buds Cannabis Dispensary (76 Stafford Ave.), and Freedom Flower Direct (187 Route 15). All four are recreational (adult-use) only — Morrisville has no integrated medical-and-recreational retailer.

Which Morrisville dispensary has the largest selection?

Higher Elevation at 65 Northgate Ave., Suite 6 (Northgate Plaza) is Morrisville's oldest dispensary (open since November 2022) and self-describes as the largest-selection retailer in Lamoille County, with more than 250 products and the county's only in-store glass selection. Note: Higher Elevation is closed on Mondays — plan accordingly.

Are the Morrisville dispensaries open daily?

Three of the four are open seven days a week. Best Buds Cannabis Dispensary (76 Stafford Ave.) runs 10 AM–7 PM daily. Craft Cannabis Company (46 Hutchins St.) is open Mon–Sat 10 AM–7 PM and Sun 11 AM–3 PM. Freedom Flower Direct (187 Route 15) is open daily 9 AM–7 PM — the earliest opening in town. Only Higher Elevation is closed Mondays (otherwise Tue–Sat 10 AM–7 PM, Sun 10 AM–5 PM).

Is Morrisville closer to Stowe than Waterbury Center?

Not for most Stowe visitors. Waterbury Center (12–15 minutes south on Route 100) is the shorter drive for anyone coming from or staying near Stowe Mountain Resort, the Trapp Family Lodge, or Stowe village. Morrisville (~15 minutes north via Route 100 and VT-15) is a better choice if you're staying near Smugglers' Notch, in rentals north of Stowe village, or if you want the broader four-shop selection of Lamoille County.

Does Freedom Flower Direct sell its cannabis beverages at the Morrisville shop?

Yes. Freedom Flower Direct at 187 Route 15 is the farmer-owned retail arm of the Freedom Flower operation, which produces 5mg THC cannabis seltzers in glass bottles (Lime, Blood Orange, Mango, Cardamom Ginger) — the only Vermont producer currently bottling cannabis drinks in glass. Call ahead to confirm current inventory.

What is the cannabis tax rate in Morrisville VT?

Vermont's base cannabis tax is 14% excise plus 6% sales tax — 20% total. Morristown — the town that contains Morrisville village — adopted a 1% local option sales tax at its March 2026 town meeting (passed 884–633), with the increase effective July 1, 2026. Cannabis purchases in Morrisville are therefore taxed at 21% total. On a $100 purchase, expect roughly $21 in tax. This is the same combined rate as Burlington and Waterbury. Neighboring Johnson and Wolcott have not adopted a local option tax and should be at 20% — confirm at time of purchase.
