In a modern twist on traditional fundraising, a resourceful Girl Scout from Portland took her cookie-selling skills to a local marijuana dispensary. Gone are the days of simply knocking on doors; these clever kiddos are now cashing in by setting up shop outside cannabis stores.
Recently, a young Girl Scout, whose name has been kept under wraps, spent the afternoon selling cookies at Foster Buds Marijuana Dispensary in Portland. According to her aunt, the cookie stand attracted a large crowd almost immediately. The dispensary even joined in the fun by offering discounts to customers who brought a box of cookies purchased from the girl’s stand.
While her aunt mentioned to KATU that the Girl Scouts organization doesn’t explicitly support selling cookies in front of dispensaries, she noted that it’s not against any rules. However, a spokesperson for the Girl Scouts of Oregon and Southwest Washington expressed concerns, stating, “If a minor cannot enter a premises unaccompanied, then she should not sell Girl Scout Cookies in front of the premises.”
This isn’t the first time a clever Girl Scout has taken advantage of the sweet tooth of cannabis enthusiasts. Back in 2014, Danielle Lei made headlines in San Francisco when she sold 117 boxes of cookies in just two hours outside the Green Cross dispensary. Her success sparked a wave of similar ventures, though some adults feel uneasy about the appropriateness of these sales at adult-themed locations.
Commenters on KATU’s Facebook page shared mixed feelings about the Portland sales, with some calling it “inappropriate” and a “poor example.” One concerned individual remarked, “Is it just me, or is it wrong that a child knows what the munchies are? Parents should shield their kids from this until they’re adults.”
Regardless of opinions on marijuana, it’s tough to deny that this is a savvy business move. The age-old jokes about the munchies and snacks align perfectly with the growing legalization of cannabis in many areas. If you’re in need of cookies but don’t live near a dispensary, check out the Girl Scouts’ website to find local sellers. For those in Portland, you know where to head! Although it’s unlikely this young entrepreneur will earn a merit badge shaped like a marijuana leaf, her strategy is undeniably clever.
