The Clay County Sheriff's Office arrested Elnora "Granny" Layfield, along with Michael and Linda Layfield, last Friday in their Stauffer Street home. Officer seized approximately 30 bags of marijuana valued at $1,200 from the house.

Police said that undercover officers bought marijuana at the home on four separate occasions prior to issuing a search warrant. When officers entered the home, the elder Layfield was found sitting in a living room with several bags of marijuana.

"It's unusual to find someone her age selling pot, but she's not the first and probably won't be the last," said Lt. Larry Thompson, who heads up the Clay County Drug Task Force, which co-ordinates the efforts of the sheriff's office, the Green Cove Springs and Orange Park police departments.

All three suspects were charged with possession, sale and delivery of marijuana over 20 grams, a felony with penalties of up to five years in jail upon conviction.

Elnora Layfield has two prior drug-related charges.

"Maybe a little jail time will send a stronger message to her -- because probation isn't working," Thompson said.

Selling "pot" is still illegal as far as I know.She gambled,she lost.

When are people going to see that MJ is just a plant? I know that it has been modified to produce more THC, but every other plant that we consume has also been modified to produce more of whatever is valued.

The thing that bothers me the most about the Drug War addicts is that they can not see that they are doing exactly what we ridicule liberals for doing all the time; blaming innanimate objects for our own failures.

Obviously, there is a difference between hard drugs, which not only have to be chemically refined or manufactured, but can also be extremely addictive. MJ is just not a threat to society. I don't necessarily think that it should be legal to buy and sell, but you should at least be able to grow, use and store your own.

Yeah, that's what I meant to say. I hope Dane doesn't see this thread. It will be used as evidence that drugs have rotted my brain, and at this point I don't see that I have much of a defense.

It will be used as evidence that drugs have rotted my brain,

So you admit that you use drugs?

Back in the 70's, I may have been around some illegal substances once. It's been a long time ago. I really don't recall. I'm pretty sure I didn't like it, though.

[riley1992]

It is still illegal to carry a firearm in many states. Is that cool with you, too?

[riley1992]

I'm pretty sure I didn't like it, though.

Then you're safe, you could have never done it.

The "State of Incarceration" is now the 38th most populous state in the union, with a bullet.

Well we could always send those people living in that state to your backyard and the state of incarceration will disappear.

Does this mean I have to stop taunting CulturalJihad?

[KC_Conspirator]

I was just wondering how you can link the agenda to babies and puppies as well. Seems like you have the grannies covered.

[riley1992]

If you do that, I am going to know you are on drugs.

"Officer seized approximately 30 bags of marijuana valued at $1,200 from the house."

That's $40/bag.

Either this stuff is crap, or I have to move!

[Bella_Bru]

Unreal.

[dead]

You greatly overestimate the size of my backyard.

Besides, I don't want to pay for some pothead's abode and food and medicine and education.

Why do you?

[riley1992]

I know. Meanwhile, there are kids burning homeless men to death and they are getting off with the equivalent of a slap on the wrist.

[Eddeche]

Well we could always send those people living in that state to your backyard and the state of incarceration will disappear.

We could take the drug offenders and teach them to be alcoholics instead.

That way, they wouldn't be criminals.

[Moleman]

Geeze, my grandma just keeps pushin' her fruit cake...

[Texaggie79]

With granny in JAIL, the kiddies won't have any of granny's tasty treats, and when the kiddies are sad, puppies are sad. LET GRANNY GO!!!!!

[Dane]

Besides, I don't want to pay for some pothead's abode and food and medicine and education.

Why do you?

I was commenting on your "state of incarceration" comment. Seems you do not like the "state of incarceration". Just giving you a suggestion to get rid of it.

[Bella_Bru]

Well sure! We all know that kids burning people to death is nothing compared to the evils of a weed selling grandma! She is clearly a greater threat to society! < /sarcasm>
