It all boils down to one of the first rules of business: know your customer.
Girl Scout Danielle Lei, 13, knew exactly what her customers wanted when she set up her cookie table outside of the Green Cross, a medical marijuana dispensary in San Franciscos Excelsior neighborhood.
They get very hungry after! she told the East Bay Express.
Very hungry indeed. Within 45 minutes, Danielle sold out of cookies.

One of the more popular strains in the bay area is "girl scout cookies".

(1,135 posts)really wide... How cool is this:
"Girl Scouts of Northern California said it all comes down to what the parents are comfortable doing. Carol Lei, Danielles mother, said she has no problem with her daughter selling in front of the Green Cross.
In fact, due to popular demand, Danielle will be back with her cookies on Saturday, according to the dispensary.
Half the proceeds will go toward Alzheimers related charitable causes, Green Cross posted on its Facebook page. Cookies, cannabis and charities, what more can you ask for!?

"Girls are selling cookies, and they and their parents pick out places where they can make good sales," Dana Allen, director of marketing and communications for Girl Scouts of Northern California, told Mashable. "The mom decided this was a place she was comfortable with her daughter being at." Later, she added, "We're not telling people where they can and can't go if it's a legitimate business."

Totally nar nar shit, I highly recommend it. I should have bought more. I will on Monday.
A half pound of any Girl Scout Cookie strain makes a great gift to anyone, and giving the gift of Girl Scout Cookies is a strong indicator to everyone that you really are the person who your dog thinks you are.

Really, it's the only true progressive thing to do.
DU should be ashamed that it endorses wanton hedonism instead of people-friendly policies like mass incarcerations of pot smokers and girl scouts.
