Cannabis, just like alcohol, can sometimes lead to more fluency for me and other times not. As someone who has used both throughout my past I’ve found it to just be a coin flip. It also can depend on whether I’m feeling good about myself already. I’ve also noticed that reducing anxiety doesn’t always increase fluency either. A lot of the time when we are high or drunk we just care about stuttering less I think. I certainly do think it helps with reducing the approach-avoidance anxiety with stuttering but that hasn’t always been the case in my experience. Honestly I would advise using any drug as a social crutch if you can because sober interaction can become more difficult than baseline as a result
