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.

We've been in humor oblivion with you for two days now. The universe is laughing at you, and you just keep on sputtering. Read the thread from the start. Every fiber of your being has been ridiculed mercilessly. And it's all because you take yourself so damned seriously. Dude, you're killing me, but please, don't go away. Fox News was fun for awhile, but it's gotten stale. You are the best.

I'd rather not see any of you "heads' armed.

The way I look at it, either you can be trusted on the streets armed, or you should be confined to jail or a mental institution. The idea that there are people who can't be trusted with a gun, but who can be trusted not to try to obtain one, strikes me as wishful thinking. And it's also the rationalization for 'background checks' and other infringements on the RKBA.

Do you think it would be OK for a community's government to make an ordinance that everyone is required to carry, with provisions for a yearly tax on COs (to cover the extra policing costs that their selfish irresponsibility entails)? How about a law mandating that you produce a pistol when you go to vote?

The point I'm trying to get across is that being armed is rather like voting or jury duty, occasionally inconvenient but necessary for the preservation of a free state.

So everyone should have guns, but no one should smoke pot? I'm just trying to make sure I understand.

You will, of course, guarantee that none of "your" boys will pick up a "heater" when they've been drinking?

ROTFL. I go away for a little while and now Hitler is shooting crack on someone's sidewalk while munching on veggies.

Wooo! I am shaking in my boots. /sarcasm

BTW, just a comment about your above itialicized passage. For someone(wienerdog.com) who claims he/she is not judgemental and that tenant is the center of his/her political/moral being, your above italicized passage sure contradicts that.

I can emapthize though, sometimes a person can get sucked up into a philosophy, that claims that it is not "judgemental", but in reality is the most judgemental. It is a trait called being human

Cool! Welcome back. You're going to enjoy this. :) We have gone to reducto absurdum over the last few hours, and I'm preparing some weaponized ridicule for your young friend Codie.

When did I say I was not judgmental? I make judgments every minute of every day, don't you? I tried to reason with you for what seems like an eternity. I (judgmentally) stopped trying to reason with you when you went into the thing about the drug-addicted vegans trampling your begonias. I made a judgment at that point that you are fun to torment. If you don't like it, go away! :)

Hey, I asked the question. I am guessing that now that we have proven beyond scrutiny that I am falling into humorless oblivion, that you will now address the serious nature of the question?

Which is worse on your front lawn, pot smoking grandma, Thunderbird drinking nephew, Carl Sagan, or God telling you not to smoke that tree?

I pick Carl Sagan. He probably stole the Thunderbird, gave your nephew a ride, bought pot from the grandma, and after being totally stoned, filmed a documentary about vast the amount of space that he discovered after God forgot to tell him not to smoke the tree.

This is starting to look like a crowd scene on the Simpsons.

Well isn't the no force, no fraud tenant, a form of non-judmentalism? After all if there was a junkie in the middle of the street shooting up(not bothering anybody, when he/she is shooting up) and the neighbor across the street calls the cops, isn't the bigger criminal in your mindset the neighbor who called the cops and not the junkie who is shooting up heroin in the middle of the street.

I was thinking it was more like a conversation between Adrian Cronaur and SGM Dickerson from Good Morning Vietnam.

LOL!! Exactly the reason why I prefer humorless oblivion!

Libertarian thought requires that we all learn good judgement. Your government of choice, makes judgement for you. Libertarians know force and know fraud, and prefer to keep it out of the government.

How does that pesky junkie keep showing up on this pot thread? Would he be more likely to ply his trade in front of your house if marijuana were legal? I have not voiced any opinions either way about whether it should be legal to inject heroin in front of your house. For the record, I don't see any problem with the other guy calling the police. Personally, I probably wouldn't handle it that way. I might be more inclined to see if I could offer the junkie some assistance. I might be able to assuage the situation without calling upon your Nanny State to do it at gunpoint.
