MrCharlie Posted February 13, 2014 ID:790620 Share Posted February 13, 2014 These Girl Scouts in Colorado have learned the #1 rule of business: Location, location, location! Link to post
daledoc1 Posted February 13, 2014 ID:790623 Share Posted February 13, 2014 SMART, VERY SMART! I hope GSA "Management" doesn't shut them down for this. P.S. I wonder if the cookies have any "special" ingredients???? Watch this very funny classic Peter Sellers movie, IYKWIM. Link to post
MrCharlie Posted February 13, 2014 Author ID:790627 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I don't think so, when you "smoke" you get the munchies right! So there's the cookies. FYI: I've never "smoked" although it was the thing to do when I was young. MrC Link to post
daledoc1 Posted February 13, 2014 ID:790628 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Indeed. Lots of hungry foot traffic. But one also thinks of "hash brownies" ---> "special selection" GS cookies. (I guess I'm dating myself. And, no, I only know about "hash brownies" because "a friend" told me. I chewed, but did not swallow.) Link to post
Root Admin AdvancedSetup Posted February 13, 2014 Root Admin ID:790695 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Too funny Link to post
daledoc1 Posted February 13, 2014 ID:790705 Share Posted February 13, 2014 The beaming Den Mom seems to be of that "certain age", such that she probably understands the double entendre of the subliminal marketing message captured by the photo. I'm sure the Scouts managed to sell out quickly. Link to post
Root Admin AdvancedSetup Posted February 13, 2014 Root Admin ID:790745 Share Posted February 13, 2014 500 boxes a day at $40 a box - (price doesn't matter as much when you got the munchies) LOL Link to post
daledoc1 Posted February 13, 2014 ID:790746 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Ch'ching! Ch'ching! I might have to relocate and get a gig with GSA to finance my retirement. Link to post
noknojon Posted February 14, 2014 ID:790992 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Hash Brownies / Cookies were actually a delight (DD1 + 2 years ) .......You could slowly chew them, and then swallow the mild tasting soft biscuits. About 1 hour later, after the world slowed down, you did get a form of the Munchies (and then ordered a pizza) If you ever watch The Big Bang Theory, there is an episode devoted to this subject, where Howard finds some "Hippy Type moms" in a Combi Van who offer him the cookies. Seems like Mr Charlie knows also - Those were the days, I missed the draft call-up by 2 days over here. Link to post

This predates TBBT by a few years, but there is a similar scene: Watch this very funny classic Peter Sellers movie, IYKWIM. Link to post
MrCharlie Posted February 14, 2014 Author ID:791035 Share Posted February 14, 2014 My draft # was 292 and you don't want to smoke anything period ! The product back then would have been mixed with who knows what, very "weak" and contaminated. The Cannabis today that you would get from a licensed facility is pure and very high in THC. In a hospital setting you would vaporize it to get the benefits. The other component is CBD which is very helpful for children who suffer from life-threatening epilepsy and seizures plus a variety of other conditions. Yes I watch all the documentaries on the subject. Good article and please watch the video: http://www.leafly.com/news/lifestyle/whats-the-deal-with-these-high-cbd-strains MrC Link to post
daledoc1 Posted February 15, 2014 ID:791630 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Dang, that was a LOW number. As luck would have it, Scientists Get Mice High To Explain Why We Get The MunchiesHere are the other links from the HuffPo article:http://www.nature.com/neuro/journal/vaop/ncurrent/full/nn.3647.htmlhttp://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/scientific-explanation-how-marijuana-causes-munchies-180949660/http://www.livescience.com/32538-what-causes-the-munchies.htmlAll kidding aside, the research is of course quite important to better our understanding of the beneficial effects of medical marijuana for patients with many debilitating conditions.

mountaintree16 Posted February 17, 2014 ID:792298 Share Posted February 17, 2014 haha! I love thin mints! Link to post
daledoc1 Posted February 21, 2014 ID:794522 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Ah, well.The truth has emerged. It seems that the CO story was a hoax:http://gawker.com/antiviral-heres-whats-bullshit-on-the-internet-this-1522461690HOWEVER, there is another, similar story from CA that apparently *is* true:http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/02/20/girl-scout-cookies-marijuana_n_4825080.htmlAnd everyone lived happily ever after.

daledoc1 Posted February 22, 2014 ID:795069 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Well, at this point, whether or not the original was a hoax (as the lousy job with photoshop suggests), there are likely now any number of actual, savvy "copycats"? The GSA seem to have publicly disavowed any knowledge or endorsement of the practice.(Secretly, though, they're probably applauding the clever marketing strategy and the $$$$?) In any event, strong work, ladies! Link to post
