I do not endorse this Look before I say anything. I don't endorse the use of any substance. I just done this to see how it would affect my stutter and speech blocks. I may have tried almost of everything back in the day but never this particular substance. Yesterday I was with my uncle purchasing a couch and things for his new home. After we got everything and his wife was out. He asked if I wanted to do a line with him (cocaine). I said sure would of curiosity. Effects were almost immediate and I could feel myself reaching a state of eagerness. We were still working on putting up paintings in his living room at the time but took a break and smoked a cig outside. This was the first time I couldn't stop talking. I didn't care about hitting a speech block. We spoke about how he'd extend the house and why some parts in the foundation was weaker and how to solve it etc etc. But I really couldn't stop talking. I don't think I stuttered either although I was speaking very fast. However controlling my pace felt easy Anyway. I think this is to be expected from most substances. Again. I don't endorse it. This is not the answer to fix your stutter. After the effects wore off. My stutter returned. And my regular anxiety levels normalized at the highest point. My recommendation is. Find an alternative and keep practicing naturally. Don't rely on any substance to bring you happiness. Only you can fulfill that
