'''Consciousness disconnection''' can be defined at lower to moderate doses as only partial in its effects. This creates a number of changes in a person's internal thought processes and perception of their own consciousness which generally includes: | '''Consciousness disconnection''' can be defined at lower to moderate doses as only partial in its effects.

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|long-term memory suppression]] and the feeling that there is no longer an "I" experiencing the trip; there is just the experience, as it is and by itself. | At higher dosages, the disconnection from consciousness eventually makes the transition from partial to all-encompassing.
