Hm. I am not super firm on the definitions, but I remember having a hard time forming new memories when I took quite a bunch of cannabis. Scary shit. I basically “existed” in intervals of around a (subjective) minute or so, with nothing to do except to wait it out.

Like roofies affect short term memory, you can’t form memories during a short period of time. Short term memories feed long term memory.

What we have here is a terminology problem.
When you experience anything it immediately forms a short term memory. To retain it for more than a brief period that short term memory has to be converted or moved to long term memory. These anaesthia drugs interfere with the process that moves short to long term memory.
