Bay Area Girl Scout Wins At Selling Cookies

A young Girl Scout made headlines yesterday when it was discovered that she had set up shop right outside the Green Cross medical marijuana dispensary in San Francisco. 13-year-old Danielle Lei sold 117 boxes in one day because of her genius idea! Even though you can browse i49.net and various other online sites for medical marijuana, there are still a lot of people who physically visit a dispensary in their area for access to this alternative treatment.

In recent years, dispensaries are getting increasingly popular because people have heard about all of the benefits it can provide to your health and wellness. And with the introduction of a cannabis track and trace system, authorities are now able to control all of the cannabis that is being produced. Dispensaries are able to sell cannabis products legally because they are registered to do so, but track and trace systems like this are able to see who is selling it illegally. That’s why people tend to get their products from a dispensary, either online through Amuse, to name one example, or physically. In turn, this could mean that more people can take a hint from this girl scout, and sell their cookies outside of a dispensary.

And as the teenager sold 117 boxes quickly, it just proves how popular these types of establishments are. Do we have a future entrepreneur on our hands? Looks like she’s in the right place!

Danielle’s mom, Carol Lei, tells Mashable that she usually has Danielle and her sister, who is also a Girl Scout, “set up shop at various points around San Francisco so they can learn about different environments while earning some cash. Plus, she figured this might be a good way to start a conversation about drugs and how some people use marijuana as medicine while others just get high.” Not that there’s anything necessarily wrong with smoking just to get high. People will buy special equipment, like gravity bongs (https://fatbuddhaglass.com/blogs/fat-buddha-blog/what-is-a-gravity-bong), just to get their fix of the leaf. Anyway, it’s quite possible people were only buying the cookies because they assumed they had a particular, special ingredient in them!

“They learn that they’re not drugged out,” Lei said, according to the East Bay ExpressLegalization Nation blog, which says it reports on “California cannabis culture.” “Many have serious needs, and are just a little different.”
