Case report about someone whose stuttering improved with CBD and THC The case report comes from a 20 year old from Poland. [https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34314602/](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34314602/) [https://www.liebertpub.com/doi/abs/10.1089/can.2021.0060?journalCode=can](https://www.liebertpub.com/doi/abs/10.1089/can.2021.0060?journalCode=can) In short, the patient experienced fluency improvements from the ilicit use of Cannabis, and was prescribed medical Cannabis, which showed the same effects. **Here is a key excerpt from the article:** *His first consultation in our clinic was motivated by the fact that he lost his driving license the year before after having been tested positive for tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) at a traffic check. Because of the remarkable effect reported by the patient, we initiated legal treatment with medicinal cannabis.* *Since THC content of previously used street cannabis was unknown, initially, two different cannabis strains were prescribed with low* ***(Bediol: 6.3% THC and 8% cannabidiol \[CBD\]) and high (Bedrocan: 22% THC and 1% CBD) content of THC with a starting dose of 50 mg/day administered through vaporizer. For continued treatment, he decided for a combination of both strains with a high amount of Bedrocan (0.3–0.7 g/day) and a low amount of Bediol (about 0.05 g/day).*** *After uptitration, he reported that he is ‘‘more than satisfied’’ with the treatment resulting not only in significant improvements of speech fluency, nervousness, and sleep but also of attention and concentration without any side effects. The improvement would be so significant that his fiance´e would be able to identify whether he had used cannabis solely on the basis of his speech fluency.*
