Girl sells 117 boxes of cookies in 2 hours near pot dispensary

A 13-year-old Girl Scout and her mother had the brilliant idea to set up shop outside of a marijuana dispensary in San Francisco and, wouldn't you know, they sold 117 boxes of cookies in two hours. Stoners, man.

A 13-year-old Girl Scout and her mother had the brilliant idea to set up shop outside of a marijuana dispensary in San Francisco and, wouldn't you know, they sold 117 boxes of cookies in two hours. Stoners, man.

Danielle Lei and her mother, Carol, were spotted outside of San Francisco's The Green Cross. Mashable got in touch with Carol, who explained that the impitous for selling cookies outside of a pot store was more than just, you know, common business sense.

Carol said her two middle-school-aged daughters have sold Girl Scout cookies outside a medical marijuana clinic before, though this was the first time they stopped by The Green Cross. She usually has them set up shop at various points around San Francisco so they can learn about different environments while earning some cash. Plus, Carol figured this might be a good way to start a conversation about drugs and how some use marijuana as medicine while others just 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." [Mashable]

For what it's worth, the Girl Scouts previously tweeted their stance on the matter when a hoax photo of a similar scenario started to make the rounds on the Internet.

If you are wondering, we don't allow our Girl Scouts to sell cookies in front of marijuana shops or liquor stores/bars.
