I've been stuttering since the 2nd grade, ( 20 now ) and it has gotten better since then but I still stutter. Ha but, I've noticed that when I smoke weed it's easier for me to speak without stuttering, like I almost have complete control over it, and I rarely stutter when I'm high. As anybody ever heard of anything like this? Ha I did a presentation for Oral Communications class last week, on legalizing, and my credible statement was "When I smoke medical marijuana, it almost cures my stuttering." Ha which was a cool way to tell everyone I smoked, even the teachers eyes lit up! Ha fun stuff!


P.S It's crazy how your mind works. It really is fucked up!! Stutterers don't stutter when they are talking to animals or small children and babies. I have NO idea how and why it works, but it does. It's insane!!

i don't know much about stuttering, but what i do know is that stress makes it worse. MJ relaxes you, so you're less self conscious and thus less stressed. it's pretty cool.

I only stutter when I am mad and talking fast, and mj doesn't cure that for me.

Haha well I mean I stutter all the time and it's so much worse when I get mad.

stuttering is strange! I know a girl who talks normally most of the time but then trips on a word real bad and can't get by it for a few seconds.

I can't help but wonder whats causing the brain to do that. She's not self conscious about it, so it doesn't come off as anxiety. Just strange stuff. But I'm glad to hear that tokin' helps!

It actually amazes me how Marijuana helps people with their speaking... Watch this Video of how it can help Cerebral Palsy (which causes a speech impedement). I recommend Watching the Entire Video of "In Pot We Trust". It sickens me that Marijuana isn't used vastly accross the medical world.

I just thought about this and since I don't stutter it made me curious. Do you only stutter when you talk? Or do you also stutter when you think to yourself?

Its only when you talk... Some of the most intelligent people in the world have speech problems.

Yea I only stutter when I talk. If I'm holding a conversation with somebody I could get by with not stuttering too much, but then if I'm up at the front of the classroom then there's not stopping it haha. And it's worse around close family members, like parents and siblings. And people who stutter don't stutter when they're singing. Singing uses a different part of your brain, and you also have the lyrics memorized so some how that gets by in your brain. And there's a few studies showing that a chemical called "Dopamine" is found in the part of your brain that helps communicate, and with people who stutter there's more dopamine, and less with people who don't stutter. So now they're experimenting with pills that eliminate some of the dopamine which helps with stuttering. Ha sorry for the long informational post.

And WOW at the video, that's a HUGE difference!!!! I really don't understand why it's not at least legal for medical use in the U.S!

My dad has a bad stutter... He would tell me how it was impossible for him to get up infront of the class when he was younger because it was so bad. As he got older he got alot better at controlling it, although it really came out when he drank.
