'Granny' Busted For Pot Sales

A 72-year-old woman is one of three members of a Green Cove Springs family now in jail, accused of selling marijuana.
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.

Now I know if you were really that stupid, you'd never be able to operate a computer It'll be a while before Dane gets back to you on that one -- the cup holder on his computer broke off, he's trying to find a flashlight to see if his computer is plugged in, and he can't find the "ANY" key.

Ahem. This is a pastime. I neither lead nor follow from behind my computer. If you presume to know who I am based on the provocative nonsense that I fire at noodnicks like Dane and yourself, you must be Miss Cleo in lurk gear.

"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".
Dane, you are so melancholy, & devoid of humor, you see it as bitterness.
Get a life, and let us live ours as free men.

I've become convinced that Dane is really an artificial intelligence program a la Eliza. Look back at his replies. I think they are generated code. They make sense if you imagine they were crafted by an IBM PS/2, possibly a model 55.

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 deliveredEvery moving thing that lives shall be food for you; and as I have given you the green plants, I give you everything That means God gave us hemlock also. JMO, but I beleive that means after Adam and Eve were banished from the Garden of Eden for eating from the tree of knowledge, that man would have to discern himself what is good and bad.

Yep I bet you dollar to donuts that the new marijuana poster child of marijuana proponents on FR, Carl Sagan, would have been all for that.
Exactly! Even you have more in common with Carl Sagan than you think. Me? No, his politics kept me away from giving anything that he said any serious consideration. See! One more thing in common!

It's not bitterness, goofy; I'm messing with you. This thread became an amusement from the moment you joined it around post #7. Try smiling as you type your next reply. It only hurts for a little while, and you might find yourself having fun!

Okay, let's assume I am going to use a grandma pot thread to effect change. Where do you suggest I begin? As long as we're going to change the world and stuff, I'd value the input of an Internet Activist such as yourself.
To: Codie
I guess it all depends on what you are packing. But getting others to "score" it for you is just not right.

I will keep that in mind when posting to you in the future.

ZERO TOLERANCE!!
Either the stuff is allowed by "our masters" for ALL Americans or Granny Dies in a prison ward!
Truth in Sentencing should make sure of that.
You can't keep up the Two Tier Justice system and call it Justice.
Maybe you and many others really don't care about justice. Just keep those laws there to use as a lever against ALL who haven't the money or connections to pay to keep free.
Some Justice system we got. LOL!
Afghanis seem more equitable in the justice department and they even know MERCY!

Yup, you ain't no Bible scholar!

Could you put it in email or something? I'm huddling with Codie right now. We're going to confiscate everyone's guns, if I'm not mistaken. As soon as we get that done, I'll get with Codie about going back for their dope. Deal?

" beleive that means after Adam and Eve were banished from the Garden of Eden for eating from the tree of knowledge, that man would have to discern himself what is good and bad. Thanks, I CAN DISCERN FOR MYSELF. Certainly don't need help from someone who has no experience in these matters.
To: Dane
So Dane, which is worse on your front yard, pot smoking grandma, Thunderbird drinking nephew, Carl Sagan, or God telling you not to smoke that tree?
To: wienerdog.com
LOL! Mom always did like you best! Careful now, he's a minor!
To: scottiewottie
I remember when all you had to worry about was those wooden cutouts of the granmother bending over to pull weeds. Now even they are suspect, I guess.
