Basic Psychology

There is a basic element in psychology called "State Dependent Learning," dictionary definition:

"Learning associated with a specific state of sleep or wakefulness or with a chemically altered state, such that the learned information cannot be recalled or used unless the subject is restored to the state that existed when learning first occurred."

This means that if they want to remember what happened to them they might have to return to the state they were in. Thus meaning, obtaining the drug and perhaps doing a little expiramentation.

Far fetched, I know but could be the only other way of remembering what happened to them.

Any better ideas?

Hey DD0922, I quoted your post over in the Jonas Chat Forum. You might want to pop by and explain some things if he starts asking more questions.
