Quick Answer
Most Burlington dispensaries offer first-time buyers 10β20% off (Float On and Bern Gallery each offer 20%), and registered medical patients save roughly 20% by being exempt from the 14% excise and 6% sales taxes. Loyalty programs are common: Float On earns 1 point per dollar (100 points = $10 off), Heybud uses a buy-5-get-1-free pre-roll punch card, and Green Leaf Central runs a points system through online ordering. Several shops also run recurring day-of-week specials on edibles, pre-rolls, vape carts, and flower β but these rotate frequently, so confirm the current offer on each shop's online menu or Instagram before you go, since the best deals are often unadvertised flash sales.
Burlington dispensaries run regular deals and specials β but they're not always advertised prominently. We track weekly discounts, first-time buyer offers, and loyalty programs across every licensed shop so you don't have to hunt for savings.
First-Time Buyer Deals

- Float On Dispensary (Church St): 20% off your first purchase. Must show valid ID. Stackable with some other offers.
- True 802 Cannabis (Church St, 2nd Floor): 15% off first order + free pre-roll. Valid in-store and on online pickup orders.

Seasonal & Holiday Sales
Vermont's biggest cannabis sales happen around 4/20 (April 20), Memorial Day, Labor Day, and the December holidays. Black Friday deals in November are also worth watching β several Burlington dispensaries offered 25-30% off everything in 2025.
Medical Patient Discounts
Vermont medical cannabis patients with a valid registry card receive special pricing at most Burlington dispensaries. Discounts typically range from 10-20% off. Some shops also waive the Vermont sales tax (6%) for medical patients. Always bring your card and ask about medical pricing before ordering.
Tips for Saving

- Sign up for email lists (most offer a one-time 10% coupon for subscribing)
