Have you ever thought smoking weed is actually making your stutter worse? THC boosts dopamine in the brain, and for most stutterers, that’s not a good thing as it can further disrupting motor timing and coordination. It can even make some people more anxious and paranoid, which can further exacerbate stuttering and blocks. If what you’re doing is making your speech worse, why not try something different? Caffeine and sugar makes mine worse, so I’ve cut it out completely and I’ve improved so much! Stay hydrated and get quality sleep and lay off the stimulants. See how that goes for you.
