Noticed more fluency after my first Acid Trip (m/24) I'm not posting this to encourage drug use, just would like to discuss my experience. I have had decent experience with psychedelics and have wanted to try LSD for awhile. I have seen almost a dozen speech pathologists over my lifetime, and while they have been pretty helpful, daily meditation has also worked very well with my impediment. So 2 weeks ago I went to a music festival with some close friends and tried Acid. It was an amazing experience that I now understand can be hard to put into words. I didn't have a specific moment/realization that I would tie to my stutter directly. I have noticed since the trip however that I'm a lot calmer when speaking with others (especially on the phone at work which was a nightmare for me for the last year) and am much more fluid in conversation. It's almost as if I don't think about troubled words as much and don't care if I get a block which has resulted in.... less blocks. Curious if anyone else has had a similar experience.
