Marijuana is illegal in most of the nation, and there is a billion dollar industry just in growing it here in the US. The feds can't stop that, they can't stop people from growing gardens.
And the percentage of law enforcement is much less than 5% of the population. Law enforcement, local, state, and federal, not counting military, is about 500,000.

Look at Nazi Germany. They would still be in power now if not for external interference.
The communists held russia for 80 years where every garden was appropriated and they did it with much less technology than today.
The communists did the same in China for 30 years.
The govt. can and will do it. Eventually, all communist govts. fail, IF YOU WANT TO WAIT 3-7 DECADES.
“After the first few teams get ambushed, it’s going to be difficult to find volunteers for the teams.”
You won’t need to ambush the teams. Even thugs have families; brothers, sisters, kids, parents. As LEO families are targeted, the LEOs will need to spend more time at home.
Random, there will be terror. It works.
