Every licensed cannabis dispensary in Vermont

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
