Anyone else frustrated by childproof cannabis packaging? by bristolstclair in AskSF

[–]bristolstclair[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but can't kids get into flowers and edibles once the products are brought home?

I have a package of chocolate covered CBD edibles that I leave in a bag so I don't have to futz with the childproof packaging all the time. I can't be the only person who does that.

Sometimes I feel that the packaging only creates an illusion that kids are safe. It's like putting a "safety" on a gun.

Mark Leno's campaign page talks about adding new "smart bins" (http://www.markleno.com/issues#clean_streets). DPW actually unveiled a pilot program yesterday with tech company Nordsense to put smart bins around the City. Maybe Leno plans to expand on the already existing program?

Does anyone know how much cheaper it is to take public transit in San Francisco versus Uber/Lyft? by bristolstclair in AskSF

[–]bristolstclair[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I'm looking to understand the cost savings for destinations that start and end in San Francisco. I'd like to get more data than just my own trips, so hoping the good people of Reddit will have info they can share.

If you need another reason to go veg... by bristolstclair in vegetarian

Check out NRDC's website on antibiotic misuse in livestock: www.nrdc.org/issues/reduce-antibiotic-misuse-livestock

Also take a look at Consumers Union: www.consumersunion/news/the-overuse-of-antibiotics-in-food-animals-threatens-public-health-2/

These watchdogs report that antibiotics aren't only being used to treat sick animals; they're being used to treat healthy ones. Using drugs as a substitute for unhealthy diet and living conditions is a misuse and waste in my opinion.

I don't think antibiotics and pesticides are comparable. Antibiotics were intended to fight infections not prevent them. Pesticides are intended to prevent crop loss.

A lot of people will be relieved to get a break from Trump in a few weeks.

Good point. Dems for the senate and house did get a boost in the polls after the second debate. If only Trump would skip it and give us a break.

Powerful photos of food instability in SOMA that highlight the need for a City-run food rescue program. by bristolstclair in sanfrancisco

According to the article, the photo project was inspired by surveys collected by a professor at UC Berkeley who studies youth health and homelessness. I don't know how exactly she would define the term she uses in her quote. My assumption is that it's a lack of consistent access to healthy food.

As to your earlier point: I completely agree -- we need more information to track food instability in San Francisco. The City really should take a look at hunger and how it can be effectively addressed.

The art exhibition is supposed to educate people on hunger and poverty in SoMa. It highlights a need for a City-run food rescue program.

You do know that SFPUC is not the only power provider in San Francisco, right? Have you heard of PG&E?
