Southern Vermont Dispensaries
Southern Vermont is home to a growing number of excellent weed shops, from the Connecticut River Valley to the ski towns of the Green Mountains. Let's explore what the region has to offer, town by town.
Dispensaries in Bennington, Vermont
Bennington is the hub of southwestern Vermont, tucked between the Taconic and Green Mountain ranges and known for its many historic sites, including the famous Bennington Battle Monument. It's also home to two very different and very worthwhile cannabis dispensaries.
Bennington's First and a Community Gem
Juniper Lane holds the distinction of being the first cannabis dispensary to open in Bennington, and it remains one of the most beloved weed shops in all of southern Vermont. Juniper Lane is a proudly woman-owned small business with a mission to build community, support local craft growers, and uplift other women-owned businesses in the region. The dispensary has grown to include its own on-site indoor grow, and they recently received a medical cannabis endorsement license meaning medical patients can shop here, too.

The knowledgeable staff, known as cannabis consultants, are passionate about helping first-timers and seasoned enthusiasts find the right products for their needs.

Dispensaries in Brattleboro, Vermont
Brattleboro, the largest town in the southeastern corner of the state, has a vibrant arts and music scene, so it's no surprise that it's also home to some excellent cannabis dispensaries. Whether you're coming off I-91 or rolling through on a road trip, here are the best places to buy marijuana in Brattleboro, VT.
Vermont's Finest Blue Ribbon Barn
Vermont Bud Barn is a family-owned cannabis dispensary operating out of a beautifully renovated 1870s barn right on Route 9 in West Brattleboro, making it an easy and memorable stop on the way to popular ski areas and other southern Vermont destinations. The shop prides itself on carrying craft-grown Vermont cannabis from small-batch local growers, with competitive prices and a rotating selection of daily and weekly deals that keep regulars coming back. Winner of the Brattleboro Reformer's 2024 Reader's Choice Award for Best Dispensary, Vermont Bud Barn shares the building with Vermont Grow Barn, southern Vermont's premier cannabis cultivation supply shop — making it a true one-stop destination for growers and consumers alike.

Dispensaries in Chester, Vermont
Chester is one of Vermont's most charming small towns, complete with a classic New England village green and easy access to Okemo Mountain. It's also home to what might be the most distinctive cannabis dispensary in all of southern Vermont.
Raising the Bar(n) for Vermont Cannabis
Down to the Roots has set out to be more than just a place to buy cannabis — they've positioned themselves as a true destination. Housed in a stunning post-and-beam barn with vaulted ceilings and original wood throughout, the dispensary is also adorned with custom adult-themed artwork by Italian artist Angelo Musco. The shop made cannabis history as the first dispensary in the world to install a built-in Cannatrol temperature-controlled storage system that preserves the freshness and terpene profiles of their flower from farm to customer. With daily discounts for seniors, veterans, and Vermont residents, Down to the Roots is well worth a detour on your next road trip through the Okemo Valley. Down to the Roots, 7 Pineview Drive, Chester, VT 05143
Dispensaries in Londonderry, Vermont
Londonderry sits at the crossroads of Routes 11 and 100 in the heart of Vermont's ski country, close to Magic Mountain, Stratton Mountain, and Bromley Mountain ski resorts. It's also home to one of the region's most personal and community-minded cannabis shops.
"We've Got the Gas"
Green Mountain Therapeutics is a woman-owned cannabis dispensary in Londonderry with a genuine passion for connecting the local community with quality, plant-based cannabis products. Located in a former gas station on North Main Street, their slogan "We've got the gas" is a perfect double entendre, nodding to the building's history while celebrating the dank, premium weed on the shelves inside. It's a warm, welcoming shop that takes its role in the ski country community seriously, making it a standout marijuana destination in southern Vermont.

Dispensaries in Manchester, Vermont
Manchester is one of Vermont's top tourist destinations — home to outlet shopping, the Equinox Resort, and easy access to Bromley Mountain and Stratton Mountain ski areas. It should come as no surprise that this scenic mountain town has developed a strong cannabis scene of its own.
Manchester's Pioneer Pot Shop
Green Mountain Cannabis Works (GMCW) was the first cannabis dispensary to open in Manchester, Vermont, and they've made the most of that pioneer spirit. Their shop on Main Street is bright, open, and welcoming, with a staff of knowledgeable budtenders trained in cannabis education and a curated menu stocked exclusively with Vermont-grown marijuana from small cultivators. GMCW is deeply rooted in the Manchester community, with partnerships and pop-up events that celebrate the town's seasonal rhythms — think ski-themed products in winter and maple-infused cannabis goodies in the fall. Green Mountain Cannabis Works, 4542 Main Street, Manchester, VT 05255
Boutique Buds and Local Roots
A small, family-owned dispensary in Manchester Center, VerDiggity Organics is run by locals with a deep passion for the plant and for their community. The shop has earned a reputation as a connoisseur's destination, stocking an exceptionally curated menu of craft Vermont cannabis, including some exclusive genetics you won't find anywhere else in the state, and medical marijuana products for Vermonters with a med card. With a warm, unpretentious vibe and budtenders who genuinely know their weed, VerDiggity is the kind of neighborhood pot shop that keeps locals coming back week after week. VerDiggity Organics, 342 Depot Street, Manchester Center, VT 05255
Dispensaries in Rockingham, Vermont
Rockingham — and particularly the village of Bellows Falls — is a quirky, art-forward community along the Connecticut River that has embraced Vermont's cannabis scene in a big way.
A Play on Words and a Passion for Pot
Rolling Twenties is Rockingham's first cannabis dispensary, located just off Route 5. The name is a clever play on words — evoking both the Roaring Twenties and the act of rolling joints — and the dispensary lives up to its fun spirit, with knowledgeable budtenders, honest pricing, and a focus on small-batch Vermont cannabis growers. Seniors, veterans, and medical cannabis card holders can take advantage of dedicated discount programs, and the well-organized shop has earned a loyal following for its laid-back, community-first approach to selling weed. Rolling Twenties, 440 Rockingham Rd, Rockingham, VT 05101
Dispensaries in Wilmington, Vermont
Wilmington sits at the heart of Vermont's ski country, right on Route 9 between Brattleboro and Bennington and just minutes from Mount Snow. If you're heading to the slopes, it's a great place to stop for some Vermont-grown cannabis.
The Pride of Wilmington's Weed Scene
Ratu's Cannabis Supply is a family-owned cannabis dispensary right on Main Street in Wilmington, and it's become a favorite for locals as well as skiers and snowboarders cruising the Deerfield Valley. What makes Ratu's stand out is their deli-style bud bar, where customers can actually see and smell the flower before buying.
