A 9-YEAR-OLD Canadian girl quickly sold out of the cookies she was selling for the Girl Guides by setting up a shop outside a marijuana store.

Stationed outside a newly opened dispensary in Edmonton on Wednesday, Elina Childs took advantage of the foot traffic from the first day of legal cannabis sales across Canada. The girl sold all 30 boxes of cookies in 45 minutes, raising US$90 for the Girl Guides, a Canadian group similar to the Girl Scouts in the United States. Seann Childs, Elina’s father, said he saw it as both a business opportunity for his daughter and an opportunity to teach her about Canada’s new marijuana rules. (SD-Agencies)
