Get in front of Vermont's highest-intent cannabis shoppers.
BurlingtonDispensaries.com is the independent directory for Vermont cannabis retail — 25 shops, editorial coverage, a growing newsletter, and zero MSO money. If you run a VT dispensary and want priority placement, here's how it works.
Small audience, high intent, Vermont-native.
We're not pretending to be Leafly or Weedmaps. We're a focused VT directory with editorial depth — the kind of site a Burlington local actually reads before driving 20 minutes to your shop. Here's the honest pitch.
100% VT-focused audience
Every page is about Vermont cannabis — dispensaries, strains, rules, deals, events. The visitors arriving here are already in-state (or coming to visit) and already shopping. No wasted impressions.
Hyperlocal SEO target
Goal for month 3: rank on page 1 for 20+ "Burlington VT dispensary" and "[city] cannabis" queries. We're new, so we won't pretend we're already there — but we've built the structured data and editorial base to get there.
Real editorial, not AI sludge
Weekly posts, a strain-match tool, a weather-to-strain recommender, a dispensary crawl — all written for Vermont, not reposted from Colorado. Sponsors fit into that context, not against it.
We will show you current traffic before you commit — it's small today, and we're honest about that.
Pick a tier that matches your goals
Every VT dispensary gets a free listing — name, address, hours, website, menu link, one-paragraph description we write for you. These paid tiers layer on placement and editorial. Cancel any time with 30 days' notice.
Every Vermont dispensary gets this by default.
Name, address, hours, phone, website, menu link, one-paragraph description we write for you. No charge, no contract.

We keep your copy on the right side of the CCB.
Vermont cannabis advertising is governed by 7 V.S.A. § 864 (the statute) and CCB Rule 2, sections 2.2.11–2.2.12 and 2.5 (the regulation). The framework prohibits: claims about medical effects or curative properties, imagery or language appealing to minors (cartoons, candy styling, etc.), depictions of under-21 consumption, free samples, messaging that promotes overconsumption, and advertising in any medium whose audience is reasonably expected to be more than 15% under 21 (i.e., the audience must be 85%+ adults). Required CCB/DOH health warnings must appear on every ad. The Flora Cannabis settlement (Sept 2025) relaxed parts of the regime — loyalty programs, purchase-tied coupons, B2B marketing, and product names/descriptions on age-gated social media are now explicitly permitted.
BurlingtonDispensaries.com is an independent editorial directory and is not a Vermont Cannabis Control Board licensee. We do not sell, deliver, or process payments for cannabis. Our organic editorial directory listings are not "advertisements" within the meaning of § 864 (per the CCB Packaging & Advertising FAQ). Paid sponsored placements are advertisements, and the licensee — not us — bears the duty to submit them to the CCB at least 15 days before publication per § 864(e). We require advertisers to confirm CCB submission before we publish, label every paid placement "Sponsored" per FTC 16 CFR Part 255, and provide an audience-composition certification (Plausible/Cloudflare Analytics) so you can satisfy the 85%-adult burden under Rule 2.2.12.
We review every piece of copy you supply against § 864 and Rule 2 before it goes live. If something isn't compliant, we tell you why and help you fix it. You retain full responsibility for compliance with any licenses or regulations governing your own business. This page isn't legal advice — consult your own counsel and the CCB Advertising Guidance (1/5/2026) before publishing. Full disclosure of paid placement lives on our affiliate disclosure page.
