A 13-year-old Girl Scout decided the best place to sell her Samoas was in front of a San Francisco medical marijuana clinic.
According to Mashable, Danielle Lei set up a table with her Samoas, Tagalongs, Dulce de Leches and other delicious treats in front of The Green Cross clinic, with the approval of her mother Carol. The Girl Scout was able to sell 117 boxes. (Click here to view photos)
Carol explained to Mashable she used the opportunity to start a conversation with her daughter about the difference between the clinic and people who "just want to get high."
"You put it in terms that they may understand," Carol said. "I'm not condoning it, I'm not saying go out in the streets and take marijuana [...] It also adds a little bit of cool factor. I can be a cool parent for a little bit."
Lei's mom also called The Green Cross beforehand to ask permission to set up shop, which employees were more than happy to buy up a few boxes from the Girl Scout.
"It's no secret that cannabis is a powerful appetite stimulant, so we knew this would be a very beneficial endeavor for the girls," Holli Bert, a staff member at The Green Cross, told Mashable in an email. "It's all about location, and what better place to sell Girl Scout cookies than outside a medical cannabis collective?"
However, the Girl Scouts of Colorado has a different stance on Lei's choice of selling location.
"If you are wondering, we don't allow our Girl Scouts to sell cookies in front of marijuana shops or liquor stores/bars," Girl Scouts of Colo. tweeted.
Colorado is one of few states that have legalized the use of marijuana in small quantities.
Lei will be selling her Girl Scout treats at The Green Cross again on Feb. 22 from 4 to 6 p.m.
