Vermont Cannabis Dispensary Directory

You can’t buy it at Costco, and Amazon won’t ship it to you: If you want to buy cannabis for recreational use (or “adult use”) in Vermont, you have to visit one of these dispensaries blooming all over our beautiful state. Your buds at Seven Days have compiled all of the publicly available info, as of April 11, 2025, and organized it by region. We haven’t visited all of these locations, some of which just opened, but we encourage you to visit a few and see what all the buzz is about.

2021 Vermont Holiday Gift Guide

Our annual Gift Guide brims with ideas both heartfelt and whimsical, from do-gooder gifts that support worthy causes to selections intended simply to make someone smile. In a time of supply chain shortages, these gifts have been vetted and should be in stock. And all have a touch of the Green Mountain State, whether they’re handcrafted by local makers or purchased from Vermont retailers. Shopping local is a gift that keeps on giving, strengthening our economy and community. Shop online or do curbside pickup if you need to, but deposit your dollars directly into our downtowns, not into Jeff Bezos’ pockets.

In support of retailers’ important role in keeping our downtowns vibrant and the local economy strong, we polled Vermonters on their favorite independently owned stores. Their top answers made it into the Nice List — our community-curated shopping directory.
