Ok, you asked for it. Here are just a few articles regarding recent military operations that assisted marijuana interdiction operations by local law enforcement. Notice that they included Army, Navy, Coast Guard and National Guard units, and some of them up in your NORCAL area. Any such operations are done with the approval of the President of the U.S., who is authorized by law to make such exceptions to Posse Comintatus. Federal troops have been used in the past to assist local law enforcement agencies to deal with riots, such the 1992 Los Angeles riots. Military units also assist the U.S. Border Patrol with their work on the Mexican border.

So, whether you personally like it or not, it is allowed by law.

So, would you like a little more, or is that enough to convince you?
