Myrick, 35, a native Floridian from Sarasota, and Sanchez, 30, who hails from Maryland and attended Montgomery College there, met in 1990 while film students at the University of Central Florida in Orlando.

In Oklahoma earlier this year, a 38-year-old father of three was sentenced to 93 years for growing marijuana in his basement. (That's 70 years for possession alone.) Which suggests that the best strategy for legalizing marijuana might be to criminalize tobacco--and then just wait for the sentences for possession of smokable substances to drop, say, from 93 years in prison to 10 minutes of community service...
