Juniper Lane Cannabis

Juniper Lane Cannabis at 445 Main Street is Bennington's first CCB-licensed adult-use dispensary and one of Vermont's first women-owned cannabis shops. Founder Colleen McQuade opened November 9, 2022 — among the earliest openings after Vermont launched adult-use sales on October 1, 2022.

The shop is built around a curated philosophy: rather than chasing volume, Juniper Lane sources from Vermont craft growers and maintains a tiered selection from accessible smalls and shake up to premium heady flower. The atmosphere is described as inclusive and low-pressure — staff is oriented around helping customers find what's right for them.

Discounts: 10% off for veterans and government-assistance recipients. Loyalty rewards program available.

Hours: Monday–Saturday 9:00 AM–8:00 PM, Sunday 10:00 AM–6:00 PM. The 9 AM weekday open is among the earliest in the region — if you need cannabis before most shops are unlocked, Juniper Lane is your option.

Vermont cannabis tax in Bennington: 20% total (14% excise + 6% state sales). As of July 2026, Bennington has not adopted a local option tax. Confirm the current rate at time of purchase.

Juniper Lane is walking distance from the Bennington Battle Monument and the town's historic downtown core.
