At higher dosages, the disconnection from consciousness eventually makes the transition from partial to all-encompassing. This results in the complete failure of a person's conscious thought stream, sense of self and [[memory suppression|long-term memory]]. It can be experientially described as a state that is functionally identical to [[Ego suppression, loss and death|ego death]], hence there is no memory of the experience as ego is a functional necessity of experience.
