Kids: High Times and Hard Truths: Why Today's Weed Isn't Your Parent's Pot

Send us a text

Ever wonder what happens when you combine a wild youth, modern cannabis culture, and brutal honesty? DJ ESG holds nothing back in this raw, hilarious episode that starts with outrageous tales of his teenage exploits and transitions into surprisingly thoughtful commentary about today's high-potency weed landscape.

From accidentally peeing on a judge while blazing down Buck Road at 60mph, to hotboxing classroom snakes in Plants and Animals class, ESG establishes his credibility not as a finger-wagging authority figure, but as someone who's been there, done that, and lived to tell the tales. But beneath the laughter lies a deeper message about how today's cannabis bears little resemblance to what previous generations experienced.

"Weed back then wasn't the same beast," ESG explains, painting a vivid picture of modern products designed to appeal specifically to teenagers – gummies disguised as candy, vapes in flavors like "blueberry coma" and "SAT score destroyer." With unflinching honesty, he questions whether young people truly understand what they're doing to their developing brains, challenging the notion that cannabis automatically leads to focus, peace, or happiness. "The more we numb out early," he observes, "the harder it is to feel shit later."

What makes this episode special isn't just the wild stories or even the warnings – it's ESG's refusal to oversimplify. He acknowledges both his own survival of teenage experimentation and the unique challenges today's youth face, from social media to unprecedented potency levels. Whether you're a parent worried about your teen, a young person navigating peer pressure, or just someone who appreciates unfiltered conversation, this episode delivers equal parts entertainment and thought-provoking perspective.

Like, follow and share the Rock Bottom Podcast with someone who might need to hear this message – especially "the kid who thinks their weed strain is academic excellence." Your brain (and your future self) might thank you.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 0 (00:00):
Welcome to the Rock Bottom Podcast, the only place
where flaming rants, fucked upfacts and flying peace streams
out of car windows all cometogether like a bad trip at
Senior Week.
And I'm your host, dj ESG.
Today we're driving into thatsweet, sticky subject Weed, the
devil's lettuce, the jazzcabbage, the reason your
teenager is failing Algebra 2.
We actually still teach that inschool.

(00:20):
But before we go all dareofficer with a porn stash, let
me just say this'm no fuckingsaint.
Just ask christopher fuckingbush.
Let me set the scene 1990something.
I was bad like chewing gum inchurch while letting a joint
behind the confessional bed, andI was a fucking jew.
One time I did six nitrousballoons at the same time.
Six, that's not a party, that'sa fucking dental procedure

(00:43):
going rogue.
My mom walks out, sees mefloating like a helium balloon
with my girlfriend Kelly at afucking bar mitzvah and I
straight up told her hey, ma,it's helium, I'm fucking having
a good time While my buddy Sev'swalking around with a fucking
tank and my buddy Raj is sittingout there in a fucking keg of
beer, and we told her it wasroot beer and she brought out
fucking chips.
Another time I smoked a wholegoddamn ounce and then peed out

(01:08):
of a car window on Buck Roadwhile flying 60 miles an hour
just blasting DMX.
And who do I?
Almost R Kelly splash byaccident.
Judge fucking Nashorn in hisbrand new SUV, the OG, judge of
Newtown, the king before JudgePetrucci.
And, oh my God, did thatmotherfucker not chase me to
Village Shires?
Man, he was pissed.
He was pissed, he was fuckingpissed.
He let us go.
It was me and my boy Ed.

(01:28):
But I'll tell you this rightnow I'd still be in detention to
this day in Graterford.
And yo remember Ms Devlin fromPlants and Animals.
I think she's still in CounterRock.
I took a bong, hit so big onetime in Plants and Animals she
thought I fucking hotboxed thesnakes.
She damn near threw a funnykiss at me.
Those poor reptiles were doingSnoop Dogg impressions.
By the third period it was herethat it because I threw one

(01:48):
mouse in there with two of themand they were fighting over it.
We were fucking cheering themon betting on which one would
get it.
Look, I know I turned out allright 30 years as a DJ.
I own a home.
I run a podcast where I dropF-bombs like TikTok Dan says.
I have no criminal record.
I have no problem shitting onthe superintendent of the school
.
Why?
Because he's a dick and becauseI'll say shit that you want to
say but you won't say becauseyou're too afraid to say it.

(02:09):
But I'm not, because you onlyhave one life and you know what
I'm going to live it my way.
But let me be real with you.
Weed back then wasn't the samebeast.
That shit was sleepy earthlevels that could tranquilize a
fucking rhino.
Gummies that taste like sourpatch kids and hit like mike
tyson before the paul fight.
Vapes that come in flavors likeblueberry coma and sat score

(02:30):
destroyer.
Let's keep it.
100 team brains are totallyunder construction.
We throws a fucking wreckingball like a nude miley cyrus
through that site and plays bobmarley while doing it.
It messes with focus.
Fucked memory, swiss cheese,motivation gone, just a couch,
three half-eaten Pop-Tarts and aYouTube rabbit hole on how to
become a fucking lizard.
Does weed make you focus?

(02:50):
I don't fucking know.
Unless by focus you meanhyper-fixating on whether or not
your pizza is haunted.
Weed doesn't turn teenagersinto Einstein, it turns them
into Scooby-fucking-Doo, withoutthe mystery-solving part.
Yeah, it might make you feelcalm, until it doesn't, until
your paranoid anxious can'tsleep and need it to function.
Spoiler alert that's not peace,that's dependent.
I can't remember one time whereI was thrown out of my fucking
mind and somebody went down onme and I actually performed.

(03:11):
It just didn't happen.
I was too tired.
It didn't matter if it was j-lo, it wasn't happening now,
listen, I've been there.
I lived it and, yeah, I turnedout okay.
But you know what else I had?
I didn't have social media.
I didn't have have THC gummiesthat looked like fucking PEZ
dispensers and no goddamn cluewhat brain damage was, until I
was 35 and forgot my own fuckingWi-Fi password for six months.
I'm not saying weed ruined mylife, shit.
I had a blast, especially atWrightstown in somebody named

(03:33):
CJ's house.
I'm not saying if you're 14 andthink hitting a dab pen in the
school bathroom is your path toinner peace, maybe pump the
brakes and be high.
Or do I want to be happy?
Because the more we numb outearly, the harder it is to feel
shit later.
That's just facts.
So, yeah, esg is for thechildren, so is Wu-Tang.
They're okay, and by that Imean don't let your kid become a
goddamn baked potato at 16.

(03:53):
Let them fuck up, naturally,the old-fashioned way Bad dates,
poor fashion choices andcrippling other way, although
Petrucci's really fucking cool.
This has been ESG, the RockBottom Podcast.

strain is academic excellence.
Until next time, fuckers, seeyou later.
And kids, if you know me,listen next time you're outside

(04:15):

Puff, puff, pass, pass to theleft too, man.
I'll stop my Ford next to canbe parents like you're not doing
the same shit.
I know a mom over here inholland who ate so many gummies.
The one day she was upside downin the bathroom throwing up all
over herself, and you know whoI'm talking about.
