Lexi Menees, 8, sells Girl Scout Cookies while sitting outside Trumed Dispensary, which sells medical marijuana for licensed patients, in Phoenix on Friday, Feb. 21, 2014. Girl Scouts seem to be foregoing the usual supermarket stops for selling their beloved cookies. A few days after a teenager sold dozens of cookie boxes outside a San Francisco pot dispensary, Menees, 8, will return to Trumed Dispensary in Phoenix on Saturday for the same purpose. The girl's mother, Heidi Carney, got the idea after hearing about what happened in San Francisco. Susan de Queljoe, a spokeswoman for the Girl Scouts, Arizona Cactus-Pine Council, says this is not something the organization would encourage but that it's up to the parents.

Some enterprising Girl Scouts have set up shop in front of marijuana dispensaries in cities across the country - but not in Colorado, where it is forbidden.

"We recognize these are legitimate businesses, but we don't feel they are an appropriate place for girls to be selling cookies in Colorado," the organization said.

But, the feelings of Girl Scouts officials on the matter seem to vary state to state.

News that a teenager sold dozens of cookie boxes outside a San Francisco pot dispensary, convinced 8-year-old Lexi Menees in Phoenix to target shoppers at TruMed Dispensary in Phoenix on Saturday.

1. I'm very impressed how smart Colorado is being with legalization.

I had a hunch the original story last week was wrong.
