About Rutland

The cannabis scene

Rutland is Vermont's second-largest city and the seat of Rutland County — a commercial hub for western Vermont with roughly 15,000 residents. Unlike many Vermont cities where the nearest dispensary is in an adjacent town, Rutland has six CCB-licensed adult-use dispensaries all within the city limits, the densest concentration outside Burlington.

The shops span four distinct parts of the city. Vermont Cannabis Café sits on US Route 4 East — the main corridor to Killington Resort (~12 miles east) and Pico Mountain (~7 miles east). Little Amsterdam, Mountain Girl Cannabis, and West Street Cannabis cluster in the West Street and downtown area near Merchants Row. The Gas Station anchors South Main Street. Somewhere On The Mountain covers North Main. Visitors arriving on Route 4 from Killington pass Vermont Cannabis Café first; those coming from US-7 South (Middlebury, Brandon) naturally pass South Main or North Main.

Rutland City voted to allow adult-use cannabis retail when Vermont opened licensing in 2022 — and Mountain Girl Cannabis on West Street holds RTLR0001, the very first adult-use retail license issued in the state. All six shops hold active Vermont CCB recreational retail licenses.

Getting around

Rutland is laid out along a North/South Main Street corridor intersected by Route 4 East (US-4). Vermont Cannabis Café is on Route 4 East — follow Route 4 from downtown roughly a half-mile east, in the House of Lights building near Home Depot. The three downtown shops (West Street Cannabis at 7 West St, Mountain Girl Cannabis at 174 West St, and Little Amsterdam at 302 West St) are all on West Street within a few minutes' walk of Merchants Row and Center Street. The Gas Station (180 S Main) and Somewhere On The Mountain (158 N Main) are on opposite ends of Main Street, about 10 minutes apart on foot. Ample free parking is available at or near all locations. Green Mountain Transit does not operate convenient local cannabis routes; a car is standard.
