LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Los Angeles city attorney filed a lawsuit Tuesday to shut down a mobile phone application that arranges medical marijuana home deliveries.

The suit alleges that the iPhone and Android free app, Nestdrop, is a "flagrant attempt" to bypass restrictions contained in Proposition D, the medical marijuana law approved by Los Angeles voters last year.

Nestdrop links customers with delivery services. It started as an alcoholic beverage delivery service but added marijuana in November, promising arrival within an hour.

Pot delivery is currently only available in Los Angeles, but the company has said it wants to expand throughout Southern California.

1. This is a guy who wants headlines.

And look, he got them!

3. This is a man who knows the law and who worked diligently for the poor in Bet Tzedek lsome

years before becoming the city attorney. I'm proud to have voted for him.

6. I am certainly less proud to have voted for him, now

That seems to happen a lot with LA. officeholders

8. He still wants headlines.

To attract the right. He's gotta run for office again. Sorry you like this guy. It shows something about your politics.

2. Before I take a side on this, I should investigate this app for myself.

4. This is like suing to stop any other sort of e-progress.

Once the genie is out of the bottle, good luck.

Why anyone would be against the sick, who may not be able to get to a clinic, getting their medicine. .

If the USPS can bring Viagra to your door, then how can you descriminate against any other legally prescribed medicine?

10. The Man

continues its frantic effort to maintain control in the e-era. It is fruitless, but we can expect it to continue for quite some time. I just have to laugh at the attempts at my own workplace. Recently learned of a new one - USB port abuse. Basically means, among other things, charging your phone through the computer. Have at it guys. You have lost this one, but I think you know that.

7. What are the bypassed restrictions

If it is really a violation of the law, that's one thing.

9. Hoo hoo hoo hoo hooooo... I love where this is going.

Legalizing pot is the funnest thing that's happened in America in a very long time.
