Savvy Girl Scout Sells Cookies Outside Marijuana Dispensary in San Francisco

Danielle Lei will one day be a Fortune 500 executive if she keeps having ideas as brilliant as this, and the vox populi of the internet is in agreement. Girl Scout cookies are a popular treat that are sold every year by the Girl Scouts of America. Many a Scout stations her booth and table where she can sell her wares in front of supermarkets or other stores, hoping to sell out. Mothers and fathers bring in sheets to workplaces, hocking wares for their children in the hopes of raising money for their organizations.

Lei thought green instead. Green being the color of both marijuana, and the money she raked in from setting up her table in front of San Francisco's Green Cross marijuana dispensary. According to CBS news, Lei's mother thought that this location would be a good place to talk to her daughter about the "sensitive topic of drugs." The internet is also alight with support for the young entrepreneur, saying that she has a brilliant business strategy. Delicious sweets plus an audience who are prone to fits of "munchies" makes an excellent pairing.

The Girl Scout Leadership for California also has no problem with her set up, and say that parents and children work together to figure out places to make good sales. If the internet reports are true, it's said that young Ms. Lei sold over 117 boxes of the popular cookies in over two hours.

This is not the first time Lei and her older sister have sold cookies outside of a dispensary. He parents feel that the drug related locale helps to teach the difference between using marijuana medicinally, and recreationally, says the Daily Mail.

The staff of the Green Cross also approved, and a few members came out to purchase boxes themselves.
