That’s why Girl Scout Danielle Lei should earn a merit badge in business for setting up shop outside of a medical marijuana dispensary in San Francisco. Lei sold 117 boxes of Dulce de Leches and Tagalong Girl Scout cookies during a two-hour stint outside The Green Cross pharmacy over Presidents Day weekend. [According to her mother](http://mashable.com/2014/02/20/girl-scout-cookies-marijuana/ "undefined"), Lei sold 37 more boxes catering to the munchies crowd than what she sold during the same two-hour period outside a Safeway store the next day, proving once again that when it comes to business it’s all about location, location, location. “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_](http://mashable.com/2014/02/20/girl-scout-cookies-marijuana/ "undefined"). “It’s all about location, and what better place to sell Girl Scout cookies than outside a medical cannabis collective?” No MBA or _Glengarry Glen Ross_ style motivational speech necessary for this smart cookie. **MORE**: [‘Evil Elmo’ Admits Plot to Extort Girl Scouts](http://newsfeed.time.com/2013/09/20/evil-elmo-admits-plot-to-extort-girl-scouts/ "undefined") **MORE**: [Gluten-Free Girl Scout Cookies Coming to a Troop Near You](http://newsfeed.time.com/2014/01/29/gluten-free-girl-scout-cookies-coming-to-a-troop-near-you/ "undefined") ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/9091/smart-cookie-girl-scout-sets-up-shop-outside-marijuana-dispensary/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/9091/smart-cookie-girl-scout-sets-up-shop-outside-marijuana-dispensary/"},"headline":"Smart Cookie: Girl Scout Sets Up Shop Outside Marijuana Dispensary","datePublished":"2014-02-21T16:55:31.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:07:15.963Z","description":"Glengarry Glen Girl Scout?","url":"https://time.com/9091/smart-cookie-girl-scout-sets-up-shop-outside-marijuana-dispensary/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Marijuana","Food & Drink","San Francisco","medical marijuana","cookies","Girl Scout Cookies","Girl Scouts"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Locker","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/9091/smart-cookie-girl-scout-sets-up-shop-outside-marijuana-dispensary/","name":"Smart Cookie: Girl Scout Sets Up Shop Outside Marijuana Dispensary"}}]}] ```
