The founders of an Arizona church that deifies marijuana have pleaded guilty to two criminal charges.
Dan and Mary Quaintance are each facing up to 20 years in prison.
Sentencing in federal court is set to take place within the next 75 days, but the Quaintances are confident an appeal will keep them out of prison.
The couple pleaded guilty August 18th to two counts relating to their 2006 federal arrest and both involve marijuana.
The sentence will depend on the discretion of the judge and Dan Quaintance predicts the case could go as far as the U.S. Supreme Court.
The Quaintances -- both in their 50s -- live in Pima, some 90 miles northeast of Tucson.
They founded the Church of Cognizance in 1991 in Pima.
