A few days after a teenager sold dozens of cookie boxes outside a San Francisco pot dispensary, 8-year-old Lexi Menees is returning to TruMed Dispensary in Phoenix on Saturday for the same purpose.
Lexi and her parents came on Friday with between 100 and 150 boxes to sell. Her family said they sold more than 50.
Its better than she wouldve gotten outside a grocery store, said Justin Menees, Lexis father.
Girl Scouts officials said they arent surprised there are copycats after the story of 13-year-old San Francisco Girl Scout Danielle Lei went viral on social media and various news outlets. Lei set up a cookie table Monday outside The Green Cross, a licensed marijuana dispensary in that citys Mission district.
The feelings of Girl Scouts officials on the matter seem to vary state to state. Earlier this month, reports about Girl Scouts implementing the same strategy in Colorado, where recreational marijuana is now legal, turned out to be a hoax. The Girl Scouts of Colorado issued a statement on its Facebook page Friday to dispel the rumour, effectively prohibiting members from selling at a dispensary.
We recognize these are legitimate businesses, but we dont feel they are an appropriate place for girls to be selling cookies in Colorado, the organization said.
Carney said she and her husband simply told Lexi they would try setting up in front of a facility that is similar to a pharmacy, where people go to get their medicine.
She doesnt even know where shes at. Its more entrepreneurial, Carney said. Shes trying to go to camp this summer.
That's some smart salesmanship there.
