Californians who were hoping to summon medical marijuana to their homes with the tap of a smartphone app will have to find anther way to get their pot, after an appeals court upheld an injunction against a weed delivery app called NestDrop.
Back in 2014, the Los Angeles city attorney sued the makers of the app, alleging that Nestdrop is a “flagrant attempt” to circumvent restrictions in Proposition D, the law that made medical marijuana legal in 2013.
Now, a state appeals court has sided with a lower court judge’s decision to block the app, the Associated Press reports. A division of the 2nd District Court of Appeal said Monday that NestDrop violated Proposition D, which restricts medical marijuana facilities in the city.
The three-judge appellate panel said the law also generally prohibits marijuana deliveries by vehicle, which is integral to NestDrop’s service, and upheld the lower court’s decision to issue a preliminary injunction.
An attorney representing NestDrop says the appeals court didn’t give a good reason for why it rejected the company’s argument that Proposition D was pre-empted by the state vehicle code.
