One Las Vegas Neighborhood Doesn't Want Pot Shops

Residents of an older neighborhood near UMC want nothing to do with the emerging medical marijuana industry. They are organizing opposition to a proposed medical marijuana dispensary near the public hospital.

But their opposition runs counter to reasoning by some public officials who want to put medical marijuana dispensaries near patients. Where is the best location for medical marijuana dispensaries? And is it possible to balance the needs of patients with the needs of residents?
