- Judy's Holistic Solution and Float On are both licensed Vermont adult-use dispensaries in Burlington, regulated by the Vermont Cannabis Control Board — in two different neighborhoods a short walk apart.
- Judy's Holistic Solution is at 64 Archibald Street, Burlington, VT 05401, in the Old North End — an independently, locally owned shop.
- Float On is at 136½ Church Street, Burlington, VT 05401, on the Church Street Marketplace downtown — open seven days a week, late 'til midnight on Fridays and Saturdays, with an order-ahead live menu.
- The two are roughly a half-mile apart — about a 10- to 15-minute walk between the Old North End and downtown, not a drive across town.
- Everything here is 21+. Public consumption isn't permitted anywhere in Vermont, so whatever you buy at either shop is for private use only.
If you're weighing Judy's Holistic Solution against Float On, the useful starting point is that both are licensed Vermont adult-use dispensaries in Burlington, regulated by the Vermont Cannabis Control Board, with everything on either shelf moving through the state's lab-tested supply chain. The real difference is simply *where* they are: Judy's sits in the residential Old North End, and Float On is downtown on the Church Street Marketplace. This is a neighborhood guide to help you pick the door that fits your trip — not a ranking.
Where is each shop?
The two are in different parts of the same small city, close enough to reach one from the other on foot:
- Judy's Holistic Solution — 64 Archibald Street, Burlington, VT 05401, in the Old North End, the walkable residential grid north of downtown. It's an independently, locally owned shop.
- Float On — 136½ Church Street, Burlington, VT 05401, at street level right on the Church Street Marketplace, the brick-paved, car-free pedestrian stretch in the middle of downtown.
The two addresses are roughly a half-mile apart — call it a 10- to 15-minute walk between the Old North End and the Marketplace. So if you're already in one neighborhood and curious about the other, it's an easy stroll rather than a cross-town drive.
How do you get to either one?
Burlington is compact, and both shops are reachable without much fuss:
- On foot: The Old North End and downtown connect through a flat, walkable grid, so you can move between the two areas on foot in a matter of minutes.
- Parking: Downtown has metered street parking plus the Marketplace and College Street garages a short walk from Church Street; the Old North End is mostly residential street parking, so read the posted signs on the block.
- Transit: Green Mountain Transit (GMT) buses serve both downtown Burlington and the surrounding neighborhoods, so you can arrive at either area without a car.
One practical note at the door: Church Street itself is a car-free pedestrian mall, so you won't drive up to Float On — you'll park nearby and walk the last block. For each shop's current daily hours and selection, that store's own website and listings are always the most up-to-date source.
What is Judy's Holistic Solution known for?
Judy's Holistic Solution is a small, independently and locally owned dispensary in the Old North End, women owned and operated. Like every adult-use shop in the state, it's a licensed Vermont retailer, and its products move through Vermont's regulated, lab-tested supply chain. As a neighborhood shop off the main downtown drag, it's the kind of stop that fits a walk through the Old North End rather than a downtown errand. For current selection and exact daily hours, Judy's own website and listings are the best place to check before you go.
What does Float On offer?
Here's what's factually true about Float On, downtown on the Marketplace:
- Address: 136½ Church Street, Burlington, VT 05401 — right on the Church Street Marketplace, at street level.
- Hours: Open seven days a week — Monday through Wednesday 8:30 AM–9 PM, Thursday 8:30 AM–10 PM, Friday 8:30 AM–midnight, Saturday 9 AM–midnight, and Sunday 9 AM–9 PM. The late Friday and Saturday close is handy if you're already out downtown in the evening.
- Order-ahead: You can build an order on the live menu and pick it up under your name, or just walk in and browse with a budtender.
- Vermont craft focus: The shelf leans on the state's small growers and makers, with everything moving through the same regulated, lab-tested supply chain.
What's the same at both licensed shops?
Whichever door you choose, the same Vermont rules apply at every licensed adult-use shop in the state:
- It's 21+. Bring a valid government-issued photo ID; you'll show it at the door. No medical card is needed for adult-use.
- No public consumption. Vermont doesn't permit using cannabis in public — not on Church Street, in the Old North End, the waterfront, a parked car, or anywhere public. It's for private use only.
- It stays in Vermont. Cannabis bought here can't legally cross state lines, even into a neighboring state where it's also legal.
- Tax is built into shelf pricing. Vermont applies a 14% cannabis excise tax plus the 6% sales tax; at a licensed shop that's already reflected in what you pay.
Shopping a licensed store — Judy's Holistic Solution, Float On, or any other in Burlington — means what's on the label went through Vermont's testing and tracking.
