Vermont Strain Spotlight: Ice Cream Cake

Ice Cream Cake is the dessert-hybrid category's logical endpoint — a Seed Junky Genetics cross of Wedding Cake and Gelato #33 that delivers on the name with a genuine vanilla-cream aroma and a body effect heavier than either parent. Indica-dominant, 20–25% THC, with a Caryophyllene-led terpene profile and an unusual named Linalool note that pushes it firmly into the nighttime tier. If you've worked through Biscotti and still want more sedation without losing the dessert flavor, this is where the family leads.

Vermont Strain Spotlight: MAC-1 (Miracle Alien Cookies)

MAC-1 is Capulator's connoisseur benchmark: Alien Cookies F2 crossed with Miracle 15, a Colombian-Starfighter hybrid whose sole surviving plant spawned one of the most sought-after clone-only cuts in modern cannabis. Where most Cookies-era strains lean into dessert sweetness, MAC-1 lands in a different register — creamy orange citrus and diesel complexity, with a balanced, non-sedating effect that suits creative work, social settings, and the afternoon window that most strains can't quite fill.

Vermont Strain Spotlight: AK-47

The most awarded cannabis strain in competition history. Named after a rifle, behaves like a meditation teacher — AK-47 is Simon's 1992 four-landrace masterpiece: Colombian × Mexican × Thai × Afghani, 65% sativa, the original 'One Hit Wonder.'

Vermont Strain Spotlight: Kush Mints

Kush Mints is Seed Junky Genetics' Animal Mints × Bubba Kush cross — a balanced, slightly indica-leaning hybrid with one of the most distinctive aroma profiles in modern cannabis: fresh mint and cookies over an earthy OG base. Dense, resinous, and potent, it opens euphoric and settles into the late-afternoon-and-evening window, and has become backbone genetics for a whole generation of Seed Junky crosses.

FAQ

Burlington cannabis — frequently asked

Quick answers about buying, possessing, and consuming cannabis in Vermont.

Is cannabis legal in Burlington, Vermont?
Yes. Vermont legalized recreational cannabis through Act 164, and licensed retail sales launched statewide on October 1, 2022. Adults 21 and older can legally purchase, possess, and consume cannabis in Vermont, including in Burlington. The Vermont Cannabis Control Board (CCB) oversees all licensed dispensaries.
Where can I buy cannabis in Burlington, VT?
You can buy cannabis at any CCB-licensed recreational dispensary. Burlington and the surrounding Chittenden County area have more licensed dispensaries than anywhere else in Vermont — browse our full Burlington dispensary directory for addresses, hours, and menus.
What do I need to bring to a Vermont dispensary?
Bring a valid government-issued photo ID proving you are 21 or older — a driver's license, state ID, passport, or military ID all work. Most Vermont dispensaries accept cash and debit (via cashless ATM); credit cards are generally not accepted due to federal banking rules.
How old do I need to be to buy cannabis in Vermont?
You must be 21 or older to purchase recreational cannabis in Vermont. Vermont medical cannabis patients with a valid registry card may be as young as 18 if they have a qualifying condition. Every dispensary visit requires a valid photo ID, every time.
Can I consume cannabis in public in Burlington?
No. Consuming cannabis in any public place in Vermont — parks, sidewalks, restaurants, bars, Church Street, the Burlington waterfront, or inside a vehicle — is illegal. Cannabis can only be consumed on private property with the owner's permission.
Is cannabis delivery legal in Vermont?
As of 2026, recreational cannabis delivery is not legal in Vermont — every adult-use retailer is pickup-only. A delivery-authorization bill has been debated in the Legislature but has not become law, so delivery remains off the table for adult-use consumers. A limited number of registered medical dispensaries deliver to enrolled medical patients only. Check each dispensary's page for pickup hours and online-ordering (reserve-ahead) options.
What are Vermont's cannabis purchase and possession limits?
Adults 21+ in Vermont may possess up to 2 ounces of flower, 10 grams of concentrate, or 500mg of THC in edibles at any one time (limits raised July 1, 2026 under Act 176). These same amounts are the standard per-transaction purchase limits at licensed dispensaries. Medical patients qualify for higher limits.
Are tourists allowed to buy cannabis in Vermont?
Yes — Vermont does not require proof of residency. Any adult 21+ with a valid government-issued photo ID can purchase from a licensed dispensary. However, it is illegal to transport cannabis across state lines, so anything you buy must be consumed in Vermont.

About this directory

Data source. Every dispensary listed here holds an active adult-use or medical retail license issued by the Vermont Cannabis Control Board (CCB). We cross-reference the CCB public licensee list to add new shops and remove any that close or lose their license. Data was last verified in June 2026.

Editorial independence. Featured placements, "best for" callouts, and curated lists are chosen on editorial merit — hours, accessibility, product selection, and verified community reputation. We do not accept payment for placement in any list or ranking. The Mudd packaging partnership on this site is a clearly labelled B2B sponsor relationship; it has no influence on dispensary rankings or reviews.

Corrections. Hours, addresses, and deals change frequently in the Vermont cannabis market. If you spot an error, email [email protected] and we'll verify and update within 48 hours.
