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.

What about days when "packing heat" had only one meaning? Perhaps Codie was speaking of the new colloquial, parochial, scatalogical meaning of the words. Change the world for sure.

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?

Poor scottiewottie, following wienerdog's lead in humor, into oblivion.

Oh well, at least someone didn't warn you.

"...that man would have to discern for himself what is good and bad."

I agree. I suppose we differ on exactly which men are going to be 'allowed' to discern.

I would choose 'all men'; you, from what I've gathered, prefer lawyers to make these distinctions.

You did say that you would like to establish a certain percentage of people who would be "packing a rod." How would you determine who would be allowed to "pack a rod," and what would you do about the people who were "packing a rod" prior to the enactment of your program who did not make the cut?

I guess a Microsoft patch for your subroutines is out of the question?

It was a serious and humorous question that illustrates some flaws in your intellectual architecture. You have a good scam though, most rabbits are not smart enough to set up decoys. And some of us just enjoy the target practice, kinda hoping we don't hit the real thing. My only fear is not enough ammo to hit the decoys, but darned if you don't supply that too!

Like the kind you'd find in an Escher drawing.

You are a humorless man, how much do you charge to haunt a house?

I will give the proper Libertarian answer.

As much as the market will bear.

Well, thank you for clarifying. Would it be accurate, then, to say that you are proposing reducing the number of guns by arming 99 percent of the populace, or is it 100 percent?

Scam? Is that the best you can come up with as an excuse for going into humor oblivion?

I still need more information. At least he's more forthcoming with hard data than Dane. Dane can evade a question for hours. Codie seems only to evade coherence.

I'm sick of the government spending my tax dollars on jailing folks who smoke a little grass. This is simply ridiculous that they would even bother with this old woman. 1200 bucks worth of Pot aint jack squat!
Go catch some real heathens like the coke and crack dealers or better yet go catch folks selling secrets to china and leave the ol hippies alone.
