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.

It always comes as surprise to the "drugs are freedom" crowd that Hitler was a non-drinking, vegetarian, drug addict, kinda like themselves.

Oh, you've done a focus group or something?

So if the druggies started eating meat and drinking Jack Daniels, would they be okay in your book? This is getting interesting. I never even knew you had to be a non-drinking vegetarian to smoke weed. Are those the same guys who were shooting up in your driveway about 240 posts ago?

Hey, who can blame him!

THEY're always hiring. ;^)

BUT... God only creates living creatures; He refrains from 'demonizing' them

I am no religious scholar, but why did God put the Tree of Knowledge in the Garden of Eden and tell Adam and Eve not to eat from it.

This guy is like one of those inflatable dummies that you keep smacking and he keeps bouncing back for another hit. Oh, how rude of me. Dane, would you like another hit?

Yawn, more bitterness masked as "humor".

[headsonpikes]

Now, that's an interesting question!

That would be an interesting discussion. This could get downright Miltonian.

But we can't have it because armed thugs keep arresting one set of protagonists.

I'm kidding! We can still discuss it. So do you think consuming weed makes one 'as a god'?

Is she related to Wolfie?

They should just put pot in the same category as alcohol or tobacco. It may or may not be completely safe but lots of things aren't.

I agree with you. However, from my experience, I believe alcohol is the most dangerous, killer drug anywhere. There have been hundreds of thousands of people, that have been slaughtered by drunken drivers, and alchohol has destroyed more families and killed more people than *any* drug.

As I have said before, compared to alcohol, pot is as close to "harmless" as you can get.

They didn't smoke the tree, Einstein. To the best of my knowledge, the Lord has remained officially neutral regarding the consumption of marijuana. He was rather strict back in the day about eating "whatever has many feet, all the swarming things that swarm upon the earth," but I don't recall any prohibition against smoking dope.

Make that "alcohol"

My point was a rebuttal to your statement,

BUT... God only creates living creatures; He refrains from 'demonizing' them

Like I stated before I am not a religious scholar, but Adam and Eve were told not to eat from that tree, is He not demonizing the plant? One could look it at that way.

[headsonpikes]

"One could look at it that way."

Granted. OTOH, does Genesis not record that God gave to man for his consumption 'every herb bearing seed'?

[slouper]

"$1200 is about 4 ounces. Not exactly kingpin material"

$300 an o-zee, wow, that must be some really wicked weed!

Genesis 9:1-4: And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth. The fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every bird of the air, upon everything that creeps on the ground and all the fish of the sea; into your hand they are delivered. Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you; and as I have given you the green plants, I give you everything.

Your under no "obligation" to hit him again.So why do you?

[wienerdog.com]

Because it's fun. Why do you think people keep hitting you?

First of all Carl Sagan didn't write the book pictured.
