>Yes, San Francisco, Oakland, and San Jose are known for "allowing" the use of marijuana for medical purposes, and the Federal government has cracked down on them.
Well they have to certain extent but the Oakland club is still operating. The supreme court just heard their case last week and has yet to give an opinion. Medical use is a different issue than what I had mentioned about Mendicino county however. Medicino county legalized "personal" use.
>As for being a sovereign nation, that has not stopped us from previous and current military action in the Americas, concerning just drugs. We not only have military advisors in nations to our South but we have been and are engaged in military action with and without the permission of the nations involved.
We don't generally get involved in another nations business without permission unless there are extreme human rights violations. I doubt if we have ever forced are way into another country becuase of drugs. Your right however in that we routinely work with other governments to fight the supply of drugs into this country.
