Best Dispensary Near Me Morrisville VT: All 4 Lamoille County Shops Compared (2026)

Morrisville is Lamoille County's small city — population around 2,200, the county seat, and the commercial center for towns that stretch north toward the Canadian border. It is also the county's cannabis hub, with four CCB-licensed adult-use dispensaries concentrated in a two-mile stretch. No other Lamoille County municipality comes close to that count.

The challenge is not finding a dispensary near you — it's picking the right one. The four shops serve different situations: if you want the widest selection, if you need to go Monday, if you want to be there at 9 AM, if you're already downtown, or if you want a Vermont-made cannabis seltzer along with your flower. This guide breaks it down by situation.

TL;DR: Best Morrisville Dispensary by Situation

The Four Morrisville Dispensaries

Higher Elevation — 65 Northgate Ave., Suite 6

Hours: Closed Monday | Tue–Sat 10:00 AM–7:00 PM | Sun 10:00 AM–5:00 PM
Phone: (802) 851-8587 | Website: higherelevationvt.com
License: Tier 1 Adult-Use Retail | Google Rating: 4.6

Higher Elevation opened in November 2022 — the first licensed cannabis retailer in Lamoille County. It is the county's largest-selection shop, stocking more than 250 products across flower, pre-rolls, concentrates, vapes, edibles, tinctures, topicals, and accessories. It is also the only shop in Lamoille County with an in-store glass selection (pipes, accessories, and paraphernalia). Located in Northgate Plaza between Union Bank and Great Outdoors, it is the natural first stop for Stowe visitors heading north on Route 100 into Morrisville.

The critical caveat is the Monday closure — Higher Elevation is closed every Monday. If you arrive on a Monday, you have three alternatives. Tuesday through Saturday, it offers the most comprehensive single-shop experience in the county. Note that Sunday hours are shorter than the other shops: 10 AM–5 PM compared to 7 PM for Best Buds and Freedom Flower.

Craft Cannabis Company — 46 Hutchins St., Suite 2

Hours: Mon–Sat 10:00 AM–7:00 PM | Sun 11:00 AM–3:00 PM
Phone: (802) 461-8956 | Website: craftcannabiscompanyvt.com
License: Tier 1 Adult-Use Retail | Google Rating: 4.4

Craft Cannabis Company anchors the downtown Morrisville market at 46 Hutchins Street — one of the most walkable locations of the four shops. Locally owned and operated, it is the right call for anyone already in the town center who doesn't want to navigate to Northgate Plaza or Stafford Ave. Hours are a steady 10 AM–7 PM Monday through Saturday.

The only watch-out is Sunday: Craft closes at 3 PM, the earliest Sunday cutoff of the four Morrisville shops. If you're planning a Sunday afternoon visit, Freedom Flower Direct (7 PM close) or Best Buds (7 PM close) give you more runway.

Best Buds Cannabis Dispensary — 76 Stafford Ave.

Hours: Open daily 10:00 AM–7:00 PM
Phone: (802) 851-8285
License: Tier 1 Adult-Use Retail | Google Rating: 4.3

Best Buds sits directly across from the Hannaford supermarket on Stafford Ave., making it a practical add-on to a grocery run — the most convenient co-errand of the four shops. It is one of two Morrisville dispensaries with fully consistent daily hours: 10 AM to 7 PM every day of the week, including Sunday (no early Sunday close). Vermont-grown product is a focus; call ahead to confirm current menu depth and any specials, as the shop does not have a dedicated website for live inventory.

Freedom Flower Direct — 187 Route 15

Hours: Open daily 9:00 AM–7:00 PM
Phone: (802) 586-0031 | Website: freedomflowervermont.com
License: Tier 1 Adult-Use Retail | Google Rating: 4.4

Freedom Flower Direct sits on the western edge of Morrisville at 187 Route 15. The 9 AM daily open makes it the earliest-opening dispensary in Lamoille County — a full hour before the other three Morrisville shops and the only option if you need cannabis before 10 AM. The shop is farmer-owned and operates as the retail storefront for the broader Freedom Flower cannabis cultivation and beverage operation.

The standout product is Freedom Flower's cannabis seltzer line: 5mg THC per bottle, sold in glass (the only Vermont producer currently using glass rather than cans), in four flavors — Lime, Blood Orange, Mango, and Cardamom Ginger. If you want Vermont-made cannabis beverages, Freedom Flower is the only place in the county to find them. From Stowe village, take Route 100 North toward Morrisville, then turn left onto VT-15 West — Freedom Flower Direct is on the right at 187 Route 15.

Coming from Nearby Towns

Morrisville serves the largest dispensary-free zone in Lamoille County. Hyde Park — the administrative county seat about 5 miles northeast on Route 15 — has no licensed cannabis retailers of its own; Morrisville is the natural destination. Johnson (about 10 miles northeast on Route 15 and VT-100C) and Cambridge (about 8 miles west on Route 15) are in the same position. Hardwick (about 25 miles northeast) is technically within range for a dedicated run, though shops in Hardwick's Caledonia County zone may also serve that area.

For visitors coming north from Stowe: the Morrisville cluster is about 15 minutes on Route 100 North from Stowe village, then left onto VT-15 East. If you're deciding between the Stowe-area dispensaries (Waterbury Center, south of Stowe) and Morrisville (north), the main difference is medical access — Zenbarn Farms in Waterbury Center holds an integrated medical-plus-recreational license, which none of the four Morrisville shops offer. For adult-use selection depth, Morrisville's four-shop cluster gives more options in one stop.

See the full Stowe dispensary guide — includes the Waterbury Center cluster (12–15 min south) and Morrisville (15 min north), with a shop-by-shop breakdown for Stowe visitors deciding which direction to drive.

Vermont Cannabis Law in 2026

S.278, signed June 18, 2026 and effective July 1, 2026, updated Vermont's possession limits: adults 21+ may now carry up to 2 ounces of flower and 10 grams of concentrate in public (up from 1 oz / 5 g). The identity requirement is unchanged: a valid government-issued photo ID — driver's license, passport, or Real ID.

Consumption remains illegal in all public spaces: streets, parks, parking lots, vehicles, and any outdoor public area in Morrisville or surrounding towns. Legal consumption is in a private space where the owner permits it. Vermont does not allow retail cannabis home delivery — all four Morrisville shops are walk-in and pickup only.

The cannabis tax in Morrisville is Vermont's 14% excise plus 6% sales tax, and Morristown — the town that includes the village of Morrisville — added a 1% local option sales tax that took effect July 1, 2026 (voters approved it 884–633). That brings the total tax on cannabis in Morrisville to 21%, the same rate as Burlington and Waterbury. On a $100 purchase, expect roughly $21 in tax before any deposit or product-specific fees. Do not cross state lines with cannabis — the Vermont–Canada and Vermont–New Hampshire borders both carry federal consequences.
