Best Dispensary Near Me Stowe VT: Shops South and North on Route 100 (2026)

Stowe is Vermont's most-visited resort town — 1.5 million-plus visitors annually come for Stowe Mountain Resort, the Trapp Family Lodge, Smugglers' Notch State Park, summer hiking on Mount Mansfield, and fall foliage. None of that traffic can buy cannabis in Stowe itself. The Vermont Cannabis Control Board's 2026 licensee list shows no open adult-use or medical cannabis retail license in Stowe village or the resort area. Elevated State VT at 407 Mountain Road sells CBD and hemp only — it is not a CCB-licensed adult-use retailer.

Two clusters of licensed shops are within 15 minutes on Route 100: Waterbury Center to the south (3 shops, 12–15 min) and Morrisville to the north (4 shops, ~15 min). Which direction you take depends on where you're staying and how you drove in.

TL;DR: Best Dispensary Near Stowe, by Situation

South Cluster: Waterbury Center (12–15 Min)

From Stowe village, head south on Route 100 (Waterbury-Stowe Road) toward Waterbury. Three CCB-licensed shops appear within a 2-mile stretch as you head south — Vermont GoodFire Cannabis first, then 31° North, then Zenbarn Farms. No I-89 needed from Stowe; the entire run is on Route 100.

Vermont GoodFire Cannabis — 3627 Waterbury-Stowe Rd

Hours: Mon–Thu 10:00 AM–7:00 PM | Fri–Sat 10:00 AM–8:00 PM | Sun 10:00 AM–6:00 PM
Phone: (802) 224-8888 | Website: vtgoodfirecannabis.com
License: Tier 1 Adult-Use Retail | Online ordering available

Vermont GoodFire Cannabis is the northernmost of the three Waterbury Center shops — the first one you reach heading south from Stowe, about 12–15 minutes from the resort base. The menu covers flower, pre-rolls, concentrates, vapes, edibles, and tinctures. Online ordering via the website lets you pre-select before making the drive, a useful option on busy ski weekends.

Note the Sunday hours: 6 PM close — one hour earlier than Zenbarn Farms and 31° North, which close at 7 PM on Sundays. If you're heading home Sunday evening, give yourself margin.

31° North — 2653 Waterbury-Stowe Rd

Hours: Mon–Wed 10:00 AM–7:00 PM | Thu–Sat 10:00 AM–8:00 PM | Sun 10:00 AM–7:00 PM
Phone: (802) 560-7927 | Website: 31northvt.com
License: Tier 1 Adult-Use Retail | Women-owned

31° North is owned and operated by two Vermont women, and it has built a loyal following among both corridor locals and Stowe visitors for its curatorial approach — a rotating selection of small Vermont farms rather than mass-regional brands. Staff are known for an accessible, education-first shopping experience. Extended hours Thursday through Saturday (8 PM close) give it the longest weeknight window in the Waterbury cluster.

Zenbarn Farms — 1930 Waterbury-Stowe Rd

Hours: Mon–Sun 10:00 AM–7:00 PM (every day)
Phone: (802) 244-8134 | Website: zenbarnmj.com
License: Integrated (Medical + Adult-Use Retail) | Wheelchair accessible | Club Zen loyalty

Zenbarn Farms is the southernmost of the three Waterbury Center shops — closest to I-89 Exit 10 and the natural first stop if you're arriving from Burlington and picking up on the drive in. It is the only shop in either cluster with an integrated medical-and-recreational retail license (held under the corporate name "Vermont Patients Alliance, Inc"). Vermont medical patients shop here with patient-specific access and pricing. The broader Zenbarn campus also hosts live music and events. Club Zen loyalty offers 50 points on sign-up and 1 point per dollar spent. Hours are flat 10 AM–7 PM every day.

See Zenbarn Farms' full listing, Club Zen loyalty program, and events calendar.

North Cluster: Morrisville (~15 Min)

For visitors staying near Smugglers' Notch, Morrisville, or in rentals north of Stowe village, the Morrisville cluster is the right direction. From Stowe village, take Route 100 North to VT-15 toward Morrisville — about 15 minutes. Morrisville has four adult-use shops, more combined selection than the Waterbury Center cluster, and is the county seat of Lamoille County.

Note: these Morrisville shops are not yet in the burlingtondispensaries.com directory but operate as CCB-licensed Lamoille County retailers. Call ahead to verify hours.

Open since November 2022 in Northgate Plaza (between Union Bank and Great Outdoors), it self-describes as the oldest and largest-selection cannabis shop in Lamoille County, with 250-plus products and the county's only in-store glass selection. The established go-to for Morrisville regulars and Stowe visitors heading north. Note it is the one shop in this guide closed on Mondays — plan around it.

Hours Comparison (Waterbury Center Cluster)

Early morning note: All Route 100 shops open at 10 AM — there is no early-morning option near Stowe. For a pre-ski run before 10 AM, Burlington's Heybud Dispensary (291 Saint Paul St, opens 8 AM Mon–Sat) and Upstate Elevator Supply Co. (699 Pine St, opens 8:30 AM Mon–Sat) are the closest early openers, but Burlington is a 40–45 minute drive from Stowe — practical only if you're arriving from the south that morning.

Can I Consume at Stowe Mountain Resort?

Stowe Mountain Resort is operated by Vail Resorts under a long-term lease on Vermont state-owned land (Mount Mansfield State Forest and surrounding terrain). Vermont law applies — not federal law. Vermont prohibits cannabis consumption in all public places: ski trails, lifts, base lodge common areas, resort parking lots, and all outdoor areas accessible to the public.

Legal consumption is only in a private indoor space where the property owner explicitly permits it. Many Stowe hotels, inns, and vacation rentals prohibit smoking and vaping; some permit edibles or non-smoked products in certain rooms. Read the house rules for your specific property before you arrive. Edibles are the most practical option at most Stowe accommodations since they leave no smoke or odor.

Vermont Cannabis Rules (as of July 2026)

• Age: 21 and older with a valid government-issued photo ID — driver's license, passport, or Real ID.
• Possession: Up to 2 ounces of cannabis flower in public; up to 10 grams of concentrate (both raised by S.278, effective July 1, 2026).
• Consumption: Private indoor spaces only, where the property owner permits. Resort grounds, lodges, trails, parking areas, and all public outdoor spaces are off-limits.
• Delivery: Vermont does not permit adult-use cannabis home delivery from licensed retailers.
• Tax: Vermont's 14% excise plus 6% sales tax (~20% combined). Waterbury adds a 1% local option tax (effective July 1, 2024) for roughly 21% total at Waterbury Center shops. Medical patients with a Vermont card are exempt from the excise tax at Zenbarn Farms.
• State lines: Do not transport cannabis across Vermont's borders — I-89 east to New Hampshire, I-91 south to Massachusetts, and the Quebec border at Derby Line are all federal crossings.
• Driving: Cannabis-impaired driving is illegal and enforced. Keep purchased product sealed during transport.
