How Much Does Weed Cost in Vermont? The Burlington Flower Price Index (September 2026)

One of the most common questions about Vermont's cannabis market is also one of the hardest to answer honestly: how much does weed actually cost? Prices vary shop to shop, they move week to week, and no two menus list the same product the same way. So we built a tracker that reads the live online menus of Burlington-area dispensaries every day and standardizes them to a single, comparable number: average flower price per gram.

Updated September 27, 2026: our tracker expanded from 7 to 25 Vermont dispensaries overnight — roughly 71% of the state's retail catchment (our estimate). All figures below reflect the new statewide coverage.

Here is what that data shows as of September 27, 2026. These are live menu list prices, not sales figures, and they change daily — the point of this piece is the range, and the fact that where you shop can nearly double what you pay per gram.

The Vermont flower price index — all 25 tracked shops

Across the 25 dispensaries we now track, the average flower price is $10.45 per gram. But the average hides the story. Here is every tracked shop, cheapest to priciest, by average advertised price per gram of flower:

• Green Leaf Central — $6.92/g (cheapest tracked)
• Float On — $7.18/g
• The Herb Closet — $8.29/g
• Juniper Lane — $8.32/g
• Green Haven Herbals — $8.65/g
• Capital Cannabis Company — $8.66/g
• Cannabis Maximus — $9.00/g
• Winooski Organics — $9.22/g
• FLORA Cannabis — $9.23/g
• Milton Remedies — $9.40/g
• Upstate Elevator — $9.41/g
• Northeast Kannabis — $9.45/g
• The Wick Cannabis Market — $9.74/g (the market median)
• Lucky You — $10.05/g
• Garcia's Cannabis Collective — $10.89/g
• Hello, Hi — $11.72/g
• Magic Mann — $11.95/g
• Vermont Bud Barn — $12.05/g
• Cambridge Cannabis Company — $12.15/g
• 3 J's Cannabis — $12.31/g
• Little City Greens — $12.31/g
• Emeraldrose Grows — $12.69/g
• Bern Gallery — $13.17/g
• GoodFire Cannabis — $13.34/g
• Mary Jane Junction — $13.47/g (priciest tracked)

The gap between the cheapest and priciest tracked shop is $6.55 per gram — Mary Jane Junction's flower runs about 1.9× the per-gram rate at Green Leaf Central. In eighth terms, that is roughly $24 versus $47 for the same 3.5 grams (estimate: per-gram list rate × 3.5g, before Vermont's ~20% combined cannabis taxes). The median shop, The Wick Cannabis Market at $9.74/g, sits well under the $10.45 market average — the average is pulled up by a cluster of premium-priced shops at the top of the table.

What moved this week

Because we capture prices daily, we can see which shops are moving. Comparing September 21 to September 27 among the shops with a full week of history:

• Biggest increase — Green Haven Herbals: up $1.63/g (from $7.13 to $8.76 on the daily series), a +23% move over the week.
• Biggest decrease — Bern Gallery: down $1.37/g (from $14.54 to $13.17), about -9% — no longer the priciest tracked shop, now that Mary Jane Junction and GoodFire are in the index.
• Float On ticked up from $6.95 to $7.18 (+$0.23/g) and ceded the cheapest-shop spot to newly tracked Green Leaf Central.
• Lucky You was essentially flat all week (about $10.05/g), and Garcia's Cannabis Collective — tracked since September 23 — moved from $10.00 to $10.89/g.

One honest note on the market average: it rose from $9.95/g to $10.45/g this week not because prices jumped, but because our coverage nearly quadrupled — the 18 newly added shops simply price higher on average than the original Burlington seven. That is a coverage effect, not inflation.

The takeaway for shoppers: the cheapest shop this week may not be the cheapest next week. A single high-margin drop or a clearance move can shift a shop several rungs. That is exactly why a daily-updated index beats any static "prices in Vermont" number you will find elsewhere.

How we measure this

Our tracker reads each dispensary's public online menu and records the advertised price per gram of flower for every in-stock listing, then averages them per shop. As of this snapshot we are tracking 2,205 in-stock SKUs from 294 brands across the 25 tracked shops, representing about $76,511 in total advertised menu value.

A few honest caveats. These are list prices, not sales — they reflect what shops advertise, not what customers ultimately pay after deals or taxes. Eighth and quarter bundles are sometimes priced below the straight per-gram rate, so our eighth figures are labeled estimates. And "flower" spans everything from value shake to top-shelf indoor, so a shop with a premium-heavy menu will index higher without necessarily being "expensive" for comparable quality. We standardize the math the same way for every shop so the comparison is fair, even if any single number is a snapshot.

The numbers above are a snapshot from September 27, 2026. Because menus change daily, the current cheapest-to-priciest ranking lives on our Vermont flower price index, which rebuilds every day from live menu data — that is the page to check for the current cheapest gram in Vermont on the day you are reading this. For the deeper cut — per-shop price trend lines, brand share-of-shelf, and category mix — see the live Data Hub.
