Stuttering and drugs Admin feel free to delete if not appropriate I’ve been stuttering since I was born, and when I became a teenager and started drinking I noticed that my stuttering almost disappeared when I was drunk. I guess it’s the confidence boost that helps with that. In my later teens I started smoking weed, which helped me at first but as time went on it sometimes just made it worse I’ve been recently experimenting a lot with psychedelics and found that while it doesn’t lessen my stutter it puts it in a whole new perspective. While tripping it has made my stutter feel like it’s less a part of me and more like a burden that have just been handed to me. I don’t write this post to encourage anyone to experiment with drugs, I just would be interested in hearing all you guys experiences with stuttering while under the influence
