PITTSFORD, Vt. -

The select board in the Vermont town of Pittsford has voted to allow  medical marijuana dispensary in the community.
 
Select Board Chairman Hank Pelkey says he's been asking people around town for their opinions and he thinks it's the right decision.
 
The Wednesday-night vote was 3-2.
 
Pelkey tells Vermont Public Radio (http://bit.ly/TMNZsD ) the vote shows Pittsford residents are compassionate and that they care about the well-being of their fellow citizens. He says the medication would benefit those suffering from chronic illness. But some residents say Pittsford might not be the best community for a dispensary.
 
The state has licensed dispensaries in Burlington and Waterbury.
