A bill introduced by six California legislators in February would prohibit state and local law enforcement from helping federal drug agents arrest and investigate marijuana license holders, effectively creating a sanctuary for the cannabis industry here.

Proponents argue the bill will protect sellers and growers applying for state licenses from a federal crackdown. But some members of local law enforcement have come out against the measure, calling it an unnecessary obstacle.

We talk to the lead author of the bill and the president of the California State Sheriff's Association about the pros and cons of the legislation.
