POT DISPENSARY HOT SPOT FOR COOKIES

Two Albuquerque Girl Scouts have picked an unusual spot to sell Girl 
Scout cookies - a marijuana dispensary.

KRQE-TV in Albuquerque reported a Girl Scout Junior and a Brownie set 
up shop Saturday outside medical marijuana dispensary Ultra Health 
and sold more than 60 boxes.

Ultra Health manager James Gambling says he invited the scouts and 
offered to donate $1 for every box the girls sold. He says "the 
munchies" is a stereotype that comes with marijuana, so it was 
fitting to have the Girl Scouts outside.

Phil Temer, a dad of one of the girls, says he saw nothing wrong with 
the girls selling near the dispensary.

Girl Scouts of New Mexico Trails spokeswoman Carol Ann Short says 
selling outside medical marijuana dispensaries is against scout rules.
