An enterprising Girl Scout has demonstrated her brilliant business acumen by selling boxes of cookies outside a cannabis clinic.

Danielle Lei, 13, pitched up outside The Green Cross medical centre in San Francisco with her mother, enticing patients with the munchies to try their baked treats.

And the teenager had no shortage of customers, selling a total of 117 boxes.

‘It’s no secret that cannabis is a powerful appetite stimulant, so we knew this would be a very beneficial endeavour for the girls,’ Holli Bert, a Green Cross staff member, told Mashable.


‘It’s all about location, and what better place to sell Girl Scout cookies than outside a medical cannabis collective?’

The Girl Scouts of Northern California (GSNC) said it didn’t have a problem with the sale of cookies outside the clinic.



‘Girls are selling cookies, and they and their parents pick out places where they can make good sales,’ said GSNC communications director Dana Allen.

‘The mum 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.’

Danielle is set to return to the clinic this weekend, with all the money she makes going towards supporting the Girl Scouts organisation worldwide.
