This is my personal view. Psychedelics tend to show you what you 'need' to see in order to fix or heal certain things in your life. They don't necessarily cure of fix anything for you. Their power lies within it's ability to show you things that make you look at things differently, which can be eye opening and life-changing. With Psilocybin (Mushrooms) you're basically in the passenger seat. "Mother nature" will show you what you need to be shown in order to overcome certain things that are withholding you from living a happy life. This COULD be that it'll show you WHY you stutter, and the steps needed to overcome it. But it could also mean it'll show you that you can be perfectly happy WITH having a stutter - showing you how you 100% accept yourself for how you am right now. Sometimes certain life-changing experiences on psychedelics can be immediate, but some need a lot of work post-journey. I see a lot of people asking about psychedelics and stuttering. Mainly due to Paul Stamets' story when he took mushrooms. Yes, it seemed to have 'cured' his stutter, but people shouldn't forget the insane amount of mushrooms he actually took. He said it's about 20 grams. A heroic dose of mushrooms is about 5 grams of dried mushrooms. It's called heroic dose for a very, very good reason. Don't get me wrong. Psychedelics like Psilocybin are amazing for a lot of people - if used in the proper set and setting, dose + tripsitter, et cetera. But the Paul Stamets story is something beyond normal psilocybin consumption, I feel. Love the guy, though. He's amazing.
