About Montpelier

The cannabis scene

Montpelier is the Vermont state capital and the nation's smallest state capital by population, with about 8,000 residents — yet it draws a daily influx of state employees, legislators, lobbyists, and visitors to the Vermont State House on State Street. Two CCB-licensed adult-use cannabis dispensaries serve the city.

Capital Cannabis Company (44 Main St) sits in the downtown commercial core, roughly two blocks from the State House. Juana's Garden (188 River St) is a short walk toward the Winooski River. Both are walkable from the city center. For medical cannabis patients, Capital Cannabis holds an integrated license covering both medical and recreational sales — a significant differentiator from most surrounding communities.

Getting around

Montpelier is compact and walkable. Capital Cannabis at 44 Main St is in the heart of the downtown business district; street parking is available on Main Street and the surrounding blocks, or use the city's Berlin Street parking garage. Juana's Garden at 188 River St is a 5–7 minute walk from the Main Street core, near the Winooski River corridor.
