CA Girl Scout sets up cookie stand outside marijuana shop

A Girl Scout set up outside a California marijuana shop. She sold 300 boxes of cookies.
Boxes now sell for as much as $5 in parts of the country, so she probably raised more than $1,500.

Selling Girl Scout cookies is meant to accomplish more than just distributing Samoas and Thin Mints to the world. Ideally, the girls would learn about setting goals, teamwork, money management and communicating with adults, among other things.

If the girls can develop some business acumen, all the better. And one young scout in San Diego has received nationwide plaudits for her shrewd entrepreneurial sense, setting up shop last week outside a marijuana dispensary.

The girl, who has not been publicly identified, sold more than 300 boxes in six hours, her father told ABC 10. Boxes now sell for as much as $5 in parts of the country, so she probably raised more than $1,500. Yes, there’s money in the munchies.

I don't know the age of this girl, but I suspect this was at the suggestion of an adult - parent, uncle, etc. The average age of girl scouts are younger than when the knowledge of drug side effects come into play. At best, she watches her big brother get high and then declare that pot gives people the munchies. Plus, she likely had an adult with her, as dictated by girl scout rules.

She's not the first Girl Scout to do this.

A year or two ago a Girl Scout did this in front of a recreational marijuana shop.

they have too many BS flavors now.  How are you gonna scrap the chalet cremes and release Lemonades in one of those 100-calorie pack kind of things?

But yeah I found a pusher Girl Scout so I can get my thin mint fix for the year.

LMAO why are the names different now?  Racial insensitivity?  I just noticed that!

My great-niece didn't bother to contact me this year.  That means no thin mints.

I preferred the original flavors, even of the thin mints. I don't know what some of those in the picture even are.

I still haven't found one. But I'm going to the store today, so maybe...

I was look for my favorite, Samoas, and could not find them in the picture. But the Caramel deLites looked a lot like them So I went hunting for the reason.
