NJ Girl Scouts troop in hot water for selling cookies outside pot shop

Their cookies are baked — and so are their clients!

A New Jersey Girl Scout troop set up their stand outside a cannabis dispensary in New Jersey to cash in on “munchies”-prone potheads — but steaming-mad senior leaders reportedly aren’t sweet on the idea.

The enterprising troop teamed up with with Daylite Dispensary in Mount Laurel to sell the treats near the shop’s exit after regional leaders rejected the idea last year, NJ.com reported. 

“You use cannabis, you get the munchies,” Daylite Dispensary owner Steve Cassidy told the outlet Wednesday. “There’s a connection between snacks and cannabis and the fact that we don’t have to pretend that doesn’t exist anymore is really awesome.”

The cookies were in such high demand that some customers skipped the weed and went straight to the booth first, the outlet reported. 

“I don’t think five years ago we would’ve seen anything like this,” said Cassidy, whose shop opened in 2023.

But after Cassidy made headlines yesterday, he said the troop may have landed in hot water with higher ups.

“It was about community,” Cassidy told The Independent. “If that means the local Girl Scout troop got in trouble, that is absolutely not what we wanted.” He declined to comment further.

The green-vested girls first set up outside the pot shop on Feb. 20, selling Thin Mints, Caramel Delites, Peanutbutter Patties and other favorites.

The troop had planned to return Friday but it’s unclear if they still will. It wasn’t immediately known exactly which local troop had set up the business-savvy booth.

Girl Scouts of Central and Southern New Jersey didn’t immediately return The Post’s request for comment Thursday.

Recreational cannabis became legal in New Jersey in 2022, and there are now more 200 dispensaries in the Garden State.
