A mother and daughter headed to a medical marijuana clinic in San Francisco to sell Girl Scout cookies.
Danielle Lei and mother Carol were equipped with many kinds of the organization's famous cookies including Tagalongs, Dulce de Leches Mashable reported Friday.
"You put it in terms that they may understand," Carol told Mashable. "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," Carol told Mashable.
Danielle sold 117 boxes worth of the cookies to patients on The Green Cross clinic's exterior Mashable reported. Dulce de Leches or cookies with milk caramel chips went the quickest.
The number is a record compared to the 80 boxes she was able to market off in two hours at a Safeway the following day Mashable reported.
"It's no secret that cannabis is a powerful appetite stimulant, so we knew this would be a very beneficial endeavor for the girls," Holli Bert, a staff member at The Green Cross, told Mashable. "It's all about location, and what better place to sell Girl Scout cookies than outside a medical cannabis collective?"
Carol normally brings her two daughters, including Danielle, to sell girl scout cookies at different spots throughout San Francisco. Some have included other medical marijuana clinics, with the Green Cross visit being their initial one.
"It's all about location, and what better place to sell Girl Scout cookies than outside a medical cannabis collective?" Holli Bert, an employee at the medical marijuana clinic told Mashable.
"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. We're not telling people where they can and can't go if it's a legitimate business."
