Girl Scout sells cookies outside pot dispensary: 117 boxes in 2 hours.

It's that time of year again. Time when your local market entrances are flooded with Girl Scouts selling boxes of Samoas, Tagalongs and Thin Mints. But one 13-year-old Girl Scout in San Francisco and her mother made a rather business-savvy decision to sell cookies outside of a medical marijuana dispensary.

On Monday, Danielle Lei and her mother set up shop outside the Green Cross store with the cookies. With the store's blessing, Lei sold 117 boxes in two hours.

Holli Bert, a spokeswoman for the Green Cross, said that after just 45 minutes, Lei had to call for backup cookies to replenish her stock.

"You put it in terms that they may understand," Lei's mother, 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."

This young girl comes to my house way out in the sticks. There are very few other homes on my lonely dirt road in the midst of the national forest. But her mother drives up into my driveway every year, I guess because she knows I am a sucker for supporting the Girl Scouts, which is an absolutely awesome organization.

Anyway, I ordered Thin Mints, Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookies, and Shortbread. All yummy.

I hope my very few neighbors also buy from her. There are not too many around here. And a little over a mile in any direction and you are in heavy forest where nobody lives. No paved roads here either.
