Lamoille County VT Dispensaries: Complete Guide (2026)

Lamoille County stretches across north-central Vermont from the Mansfield massif east through the Lamoille River valley, with Route 15 as the central spine connecting four towns that together hold eight adult-use cannabis dispensaries. The county seat is Hyde Park (which has no dispensaries of its own), but the commercial center is Morrisville — home to four shops, the largest concentration in the county. Johnson, Wolcott, and Cambridge round out the Route 15 corridor with shops that each have their own identity.

TL;DR: Eight dispensaries in four towns. Morrisville has four shops but now charges 21% tax (since July 1, 2026) — Johnson, Wolcott, and Cambridge are at 20%. VVeeds in Wolcott opens at 7 AM daily, more than two hours earlier than anything in Morrisville or Johnson. Cambridge Cannabis Company in Jeffersonville closes at 10 PM on Fridays and Saturdays — latest in the county — and is the closest shop to Smugglers' Notch Resort (~10 minutes). Freedom Flower Direct in Morrisville produces Vermont's only glass-bottled cannabis seltzers. Castle Cannabis in Johnson runs its own indoor cultivation (VT Green Castle Reserve) and displays 20+ strains at a deli-style counter.

All 8 shops at a glance

Possession limit under S.278 (effective July 1, 2026): 2 oz flower and 10 g concentrate. All shops require adults 21+ with valid photo ID.

Morrisville: Four shops, one hub

Morrisville is the county seat's commercial neighbor and holds four of Lamoille County's eight dispensaries — the largest single-town concentration outside Burlington. The shops spread across three roads about a half-mile apart, making it possible to visit all four in a single afternoon if you choose. Since July 1, 2026, Morrisville purchases are taxed at 21% (Morristown adopted a 1% local option sales tax at its March 2026 town meeting, which Vermont applies to cannabis on top of the 20% base). For budget shoppers, the Johnson, Wolcott, and Cambridge shops offer the same Vermont base of 20%.

Higher Elevation — oldest and largest selection

Higher Elevation at 65 Northgate Ave., Suite 6 (Northgate Plaza) opened in November 2022 — the earliest-licensed dispensary in Lamoille County — and self-describes as the county's largest-selection retailer, with 250+ products across flower, concentrates, edibles, vapes, tinctures, and accessories, plus the only in-store glass selection (pipes, rigs, rolling papers) in the county. Staff are well-versed in the catalog and can guide first-time buyers through the full range.

One scheduling note: Higher Elevation is closed every Monday. Tuesday through Saturday it's open 10 AM–7 PM; Sunday 10 AM–5 PM. Plan your visit accordingly — if you're arriving on a Monday, any of the other three Morrisville shops or the Johnson/Wolcott options will be open.

Craft Cannabis Company — downtown core

Craft Cannabis Company at 46 Hutchins St., Suite 2 is Morrisville's downtown shop — a locally owned operation serving the in-town market Monday through Saturday, 10 AM–7 PM, and Sunday 11 AM–3 PM (the earliest Sunday close in Morrisville; plan to arrive before 3 PM on Sundays). For residents running errands in town or visitors who want a centrally located stop without crossing to a plaza or Route 15, Craft Cannabis is the natural choice.

Best Buds Cannabis Dispensary — open every day

Best Buds Cannabis Dispensary at 76 Stafford Ave. is the only Morrisville shop open every day of the week, including Monday. Hours are 10 AM–7 PM daily. The shop sits near the Hannaford supermarket, making it convenient for visitors combining a grocery run with a dispensary stop. The focus is Vermont-grown flower — the menu emphasizes cannabis sourced from Vermont farms rather than out-of-state product.

Freedom Flower Direct — Vermont's only glass-bottled THC seltzers

Freedom Flower Direct at 187 Route 15 on the western edge of Morrisville is the county's most distinctive operation: a farmer-owned retail shop that is the public storefront of the Freedom Flower cannabis cultivation and beverage business. The differentiating product is a line of 5mg THC cannabis seltzers bottled in glass — Lime, Blood Orange, Mango, and Cardamom Ginger — produced on-site and sold exclusively here. No other Vermont retailer bottles cannabis drinks in glass.

The shop is open daily 9 AM–7 PM — the earliest-opening of the four Morrisville dispensaries. For visitors interested in Vermont-made cannabis beverages beyond the usual gummy and chocolate formats, Freedom Flower Direct is worth the short detour from town center. From Stowe, take Route 100 North to VT-15 West; Freedom Flower Direct is on the right at the western edge of Morrisville.

Johnson: Two shops, one grower

Johnson sits on Route 15 about 5 miles west of Hyde Park and 10 miles east of Cambridge — a natural waypoint between the Stowe-area cluster and the Smugglers' Notch corridor. The village has two adult-use dispensaries at the 20% base tax rate. Neither holds an integrated medical license; Vermont medical patients in the area should contact Zenbarn Farms in Waterbury Center (~35 minutes south via I-89).

Clean Country Dispensary — downtown Johnson

Clean Country Dispensary at 50 Lower Main St. West opened in 2024 as Johnson's downtown option — a curated shop near the intersection of Lower Main Street and Route 15. Hours are Monday through Saturday 9 AM–7 PM, Sunday 10 AM–6 PM. The menu covers flower, pre-rolls, vapes, concentrates, edibles, and tinctures with an emphasis on quality over volume. For visitors heading between Hyde Park and Smugglers' Notch on Route 15, Clean Country is the convenient in-village stop.

Castle Cannabis — in-house cultivation, deli-style counter

Castle Cannabis at 853 Route 15 West is the retail face of VT Green Castle Reserve, a Vermont indoor cannabis cultivator that began growing in June 2022 and opened its shop in October 2024. The store features a deli-style counter where more than 20 strains of flower and pre-rolls are displayed by the gram — many of them grown in VT Green Castle's own facility. This in-house-to-retail model gives shoppers access to cultivar-fresh Vermont flower sourced directly from the grower, with staff who know exactly how each batch was grown.

Castle Cannabis is open daily 9 AM–7 PM and sits roughly equidistant between Stowe Mountain Resort and Smugglers' Notch — about 20 minutes to either ski area. For visitors who prioritize in-house Vermont product and want to talk to people who grew what they're buying, it's one of the more interesting stops on the corridor.

Wolcott: VVeeds — 7 AM, every day

VVeeds at 4155 VT-15 in Wolcott is a boutique dispensary with one operating principle that defines its place on the corridor: it opens at 7:00 AM daily, more than two hours before any shop in Morrisville or Johnson. For anyone who needs cannabis before 9 AM on the Route 15 corridor — early-shift workers, visitors with morning flights, early-rising vacationers — VVeeds is the only realistic option.

The shop closes at 7:30 PM daily and charges the 20% base Vermont cannabis tax rate. The selection is intentionally curated rather than broad — a focused, quality-first menu with an emphasis on Vermont-grown flower, along with edibles, concentrates, pre-rolls, and THC drinks. The shop has its own cultivation operation and carries in-house-grown product alongside third-party Vermont brands.

Wolcott sits about 5 miles east of Morrisville on Route 15. From Morrisville, it's a straight shot east on VT-15 — VVeeds is on the right. From Hardwick (15 miles east), Wolcott is the closest dispensary on Route 15.

Cambridge: Cambridge Cannabis Company — the Smugglers' Notch shop

Cambridge Cannabis Company at 185 Church Street in Jeffersonville — the village center of Cambridge town — is about 10 minutes down Route 108 from Smugglers' Notch Resort. It's the closest dispensary to the resort by a significant margin, and the only one carrying the locally grown Smugglers' Notch Cannabis label.

The shop's hours are designed around ski-country timing: open daily at 8 AM and closing at 8 PM Sunday through Thursday — and staying open until 10 PM on Fridays and Saturdays, the latest closing time in Lamoille County. For skiers returning to Jeffersonville from a full day on the mountain who need to stop at 8:30 on a Friday night, this is the only Lamoille County shop that can help them. Online ordering and curbside pickup are available at cambridgecannabiscompany.com.

Cambridge has not adopted a local option cannabis tax; the effective rate is 20% (Vermont's base 14% excise + 6% sales tax). An important geography note: Route 108 through Smugglers' Notch itself closes for the winter (typically November through mid-May) — but Cambridge Cannabis Company sits on the Jeffersonville side of the notch, and the road between the shop and the resort remains open year-round. The notch closure only affects visitors trying to access Stowe from the Cambridge side.

Getting here: Route 15 connects them all

All eight Lamoille County dispensaries sit on or directly off Route 15, which runs west-to-east from Jeffersonville (Cambridge) through Johnson, Hyde Park, Morrisville, and on to Wolcott. The full corridor is about 25 miles end-to-end. Stowe is accessible via Route 100 South from Morrisville (about 15 minutes to the village). Smugglers' Notch is reachable via Route 108 from Cambridge/Jeffersonville (about 10 minutes). Burlington is roughly 45 minutes west of Morrisville on Route 15 to I-89 South.

Hyde Park — the actual county seat — sits between Morrisville and Johnson on Route 15 but has no cannabis dispensaries of its own; Morrisville (4 miles southeast) and Johnson (5 miles northwest) are the two closest clusters for Hyde Park residents.
