LOS ANGELES (AP) A judge has ordered a smartphone application that facilitates the delivery of medical marijuana to stop its activities in Los Angeles and to remove all reference to marijuana delivery within city limits.
Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Robert O'Brien issued the preliminary injunction against Nestdrop on Tuesday, more than a year after City Attorney Mike Feuer first filed a complaint accusing the business of violating a voter-approved ballot measure that banned medical marijuana delivery services in Los Angeles. Proposition D, which was approved last year, limited the number of storefront dispensaries and explicitly banned delivery services, Feuer said.
