There are two medical marijuana dispensaries slated to come to Vermont - one in Burlington and the other in Waterbury. But while the exact location and many other details about the operation of the Burlington dispensary are known, there are more questions than answers when it comes to Waterbury's proposed dispensary.

Public safety officials have given conditional approval to the state's first two medical marijuana dispensaries, including one in Burlington. Other towns are deciding whether to opt out of the program by crafting zoning ordinances that preclude dispensaries.

Medical marijuana dispensaries are becoming a reality in Vermont. The Department of Public Safety is accepting applications from non-profit groups to build and operate dispensaries in the state.

Nearly 700 people in Vermont have permission to use medical marijuana, but buying it legally is a challenge. Now the state is in the early stages of establishing up to four dispensaries where patients will be able to purchase medical marijuana directly.
