Don't Over Eat

Cannabis edibles do carry dangers: The writers states: "But the most important number here is zero. That's how many people have died from cannabis consumption in recorded history." Really? I'm sure he also knows countless toddlers are inadvertently consuming marijuana edibles and being sent to the ER ["The Trouble With Edibles: Is Edible Cannabis Too Strong for Safety, or Much Weaker Than Advertised?" Chris Roberts, Chem Tales, 1/15]. Just because someone can't easily overdose on marijuana doesn't mean it's not dangerous. According to his logic, can one overdose on tobacco?

A calendar item about Christy Chan's art installation "Who's Coming to Save You?" [The Calendar, 1/8] contained some inaccuracies. Chan did not write to the KKK for a school assignment.

  • clipping at Brava Theater Sept. 11
    Sub Pop recording artists 'clipping.' brought their brand of noise-driven experimental hip hop to the closing night of 2016's San Francisco Electronic Music Fest this past Sunday. The packed Brava Theater hosted an initially seated crowd that ended the night jumping and dancing against the front of the stage. The trio performed a set focused on their recently released Sci-Fi Horror concept album, 'Splendor & Misery', then delved into their dancier and more aggressive back catalogue, and recent single 'Wriggle'. Opening performances included local experimental electronic duo 'Tujurikkuja' and computer music artist 'Madalyn Merkey.'"
