an Amnestic Drug is related to Amnesia
From my understanding for example, a Roofie is an amnestic Drug but Xanax is also an amnestic drug as well in that you are put into an alternate reality that is similar to dreaming in some ways and you might (just like with dreaming) have no memory at all later when you come off this drug (xanax). So, people (ISIS) people of any age who are told to kill or torture others or to blow themselves up might comply with these orders (if they were afraid of those giving them orders before they were force fed the drug at whatever the dose. But, afterwords they might have little or no memory that makes sense to them regarding whatever they did while on this drug especially at higher doses. So, deadly actions while on this drug often just make people confused about what happened when off the drug. So, whatever they did they might have no memory (if they haven't blown themselves up already) by then.
Begin partial quote from:
Alprazolam, available under the trade name Xanax, is a potent, short-acting benzodiazepineanxiolytic—a minor tranquilizer.[3] It is commonly used for the treatment of anxiety disorders, especially of panic disorder, but also in the treatment of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) or social anxiety disorder.[4][5] It was the 12th most prescribed medicine in the United States in 2010.[6] Alprazolam, like other benzodiazepines, binds to specific sites on the GABAA receptor. It possesses anxiolytic, sedative, hypnotic, skeletal muscle relaxant, anticonvulsant, amnestic, and antidepressant properties.[7] Alprazolam is available for oral administration as compressed tablets (CT) and extended-release capsules (XR).
