Where is True 802 Cannabis in Burlington?
True 802 Cannabis is at 132 Church Street, 2nd floor, Burlington, VT 05401, on the Church Street Marketplace — the four-block, brick-paved pedestrian stretch in the middle of downtown. It's an upstairs location, so once you find the address you'll head up to the second floor rather than walking in from the sidewalk. The shop was established in 2023 by native Vermonters and is locally owned and operated.
How do you get to the door?
Church Street runs through the center of downtown Burlington, a short walk from the waterfront and the University of Vermont hill. A few ways in:
- On foot: From the Burlington waterfront, it's a gentle uphill walk of a few blocks east; from the UVM campus, it's a walk downhill toward the lake. The Marketplace itself is flat and fully pedestrian.
- Parking: There's metered street parking on the cross streets, plus the Marketplace and College Street parking garages a short stroll away. Bike parking is available around the Marketplace.
- Transit: Green Mountain Transit (GMT) buses serve downtown Burlington with stops near the Marketplace, so you can arrive without a car.
Because True 802 is a second-floor space, plan on a set of stairs from the street-level entrance up to the shop.
What is True 802 Cannabis known for?
True 802 leans into Vermont's farm-to-customer culture. Its stated approach is to help shoppers get to know the small farms behind the products — a "true to the consumer, true to the farmer" framing — and it carries the standard licensed categories you'd expect: flower, edibles, tinctures, drinks, and concentrates. Like every adult-use shop in the state, its products move through Vermont's regulated, lab-tested supply chain. For anything specific — current selection, exact daily hours — their own website and listings are the best source.
What other licensed shops are nearby?
Downtown Burlington's Church Street Marketplace has more than one licensed adult-use shop within a single block, which makes it easy to compare on foot.

Both are licensed by the state; the difference is just which door you walk through.

What should you know before you shop, at any licensed store?
A few Vermont rules apply the same way at every licensed adult-use shop on the Marketplace:
- 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, the waterfront, in 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 — True 802, Float On, or any other on the Marketplace — means what's on the label went through Vermont's testing and tracking. If you're new to any of it, our plain-English guides walk through the basics, or you can browse Float On's live menu before you head downtown.
