'''Memory enhancement''' can be described as an improvement in a person's ability to recall ~~and~~ retain memories. The experience of this effect ~~makes~~ it ~~significantly~~ easier for a person to access and remember past memories at a greater level of detail when compared to everyday sober living. It can also help one retain new information that may then be more easily recalled once the person is no longer under the influence of the psychoactive substance.
