F16.6: Mental and behavioural disorders due to use of hallucinogens Amnesic syndrome

Hallucinogens have made your memory worse.

Hallucinogens are substances that can affect things like your thinking, feelings and your own perception. LSD is an example of a hallucinogen. However, hallucinogens are also found in some fungi or plants such as angel trumpets.

Your memory has got worse because of your consumption of hallucinogens. For example, you may no longer be able to remember things so easily. Sometimes you no longer know for sure when certain things have happened.
