Amnesia
Amnesia is an effect which is induced by many psychoactive drugs. It can be described as the simple experience of not being able to remember the events which occurred under the influence of a substance once the person has sobered up. It is present in varying degrees across many different substances, ranging from something which only occurs at the highest dosages to something which consistently occurs even with lower to moderate dosages. This feels as if it is the result of a suppression of memory formation and feels identical to the way in which people often forget their dreams almost immediately after waking up.
The best way to combat drug-induced amnesia is to document the experience through either video or audio recording whilst making a conscious effort to verbally communicate what is happening. Another alternative is to have a friend ask the user questions regarding their current state of mind and take detailed notes to the best of their abilities.
