The shop features a deli-style flower counter with 20+ strains, many grown in-house. Call (802) 318-6232 or visit vtgreencastlereserve.com to confirm current menu and hours.

Is there a medical cannabis dispensary in Johnson VT?
No. Neither Clean Country Dispensary nor Castle Cannabis holds an integrated medical-plus-recreational license. Vermont medical cannabis patients in the Johnson area should visit Zenbarn Farms at 1930 Waterbury-Stowe Rd in Waterbury Center (about 35 minutes south via Route 100C and I-89 to Exit 10), which is the nearest integrated retailer.
Clean Country or Castle Cannabis — which Johnson dispensary should I choose?
They suit different trips. Clean Country Dispensary (downtown Johnson, 50 Lower Main St. West) is the more convenient stop if you are already in the village or passing through on Route 15, with a curated selection of premium flower, edibles, and concentrates. Castle Cannabis (853 Route 15 West) is the retail arm of the VT Green Castle Reserve indoor grow, so it is the pick for cultivar-fresh, in-house Vermont flower — its deli-style counter displays 20+ strains by the gram. Castle is open daily 9 AM–7 PM; Clean Country closes earlier on Sundays (6 PM) and opens at 10 AM that day.
What is the cannabis tax rate in Johnson VT?
Vermont's base cannabis tax is 14% excise plus 6% sales tax — 20% total. Johnson town has not adopted a 1% local option tax as of mid-2026, so purchases at both Johnson dispensaries should be at the 20% base rate. (Note: neighboring Morristown/Morrisville adopted a 1% local option tax at its March 2026 town meeting, which can raise the effective rate there — but that does not apply in Johnson.) Confirm at time of purchase.
