It’s Girl Scout Cookie season! Though I don’t have to tell you that seeing as how you already have three boxes of Thin Mints stashed in your freezer. As young ladies are just about everywhere these days with their delicious cookies (and the ability now to pay with your phone which is so dangerous for my waistline), it should come as no surprise that one smart Scout chose about the best place possible to set up shop to sell.
After setting up outside the San Diego dispensary called Urbn Leaf, this super smart girl sold a whopping 300 boxes! While you would think this would be worthy of an award or something, it turns out the Girl Scouts are looking into if the young lady broke some rules.

You see, the Girl Scouts say that cookies can only be sold outside a business if the a permit is obtained. Also, Mary Doyle, the organization’s communications director, told the San Diego Union-Tribune that a dispensary is not a Girl Scout approved site.
“The walk-about or door-to-door sales rules are in place to protect Girl Scouts and their families from receiving citations for solicitation of cookies,” she said.
The Internet, naturally has some thoughts on the matter:
it's not that they smoke inside and come out with the munchies. They're just chill people with a giving attitude.

I don't wanna burst anyones bubble but I wonder if it sets a good, moral standard for girl scouts to associate themselves with the munchies. I mean, on one end, its brilliant! On the other, "Pot and Girl Scout Fundraising go hand in hand" might not be the headline you want.
