This is troubling. Do we have any idea what this sort of drug would even do to a Persona-user? Suppressing one's memories--in other words, the emotions associated with them--sounds like exactly the wrong thing to do, especially if one is already having trouble keeping their Persona under control.
In any event, I think I know what my current investigative priorities are. Perhaps I'm new to the Persona game, but I've been around the block more than enough times when it comes to drugs and street gangs; you'd be surprised how often that kind of thing flirts with the paranormal, or at least pretends to. If anyone comes across any leads about this "Lotus" drug and is willing, please send me a PM. The sooner the source of this drug is exposed, the better.

Wait? Are you sure it selectively suppresses memories? Sure that's just not the hype from the dealers? Something like that sounds pretty damn sophisticated even if possible. Anyone else think it might not be a bad idea to get a sample of that to someone skilled in chemistry for analysis?
FBomberman's Right though, no matter how it does it it'll probably have a list of nasty side effects longer than your arm.

Post By: FBomberMan Date: XXXX-XX-XX at 19:21 Let's be honest. If there were a drug sophisticated enough to wipe only the bad out (and I say "if" because the med. tech on the market, black or otherwise, isn't advanced enough to do that) then it'd be getting worldwide attention. Also we'd have cured cancer for good and invented immortality juice already and made something practical usage for nanomachines. It isn't a question of whether or not it does what it's supposed to so much as it's a question of how bad it is for you. Okay I've spent way too much brainpower trying to explain how this shit probably works, but the long and short of it is that it basically wipes out your bad memories. And your good memories too. In bulk. Like I said earlier, the moment you pop the fucker into your system, you're brain is oatmeal. This "Lotus" shit goes to work wiping your brain clean like a blank slate. Drug dependencies and difficulty thinking come out of it, probably. Haven't heard of any organ failures, but how much you want to bet that some livers are going to give out in the near future? Kicked the shit out of a dealer the other day and hauled his sorry ass to the police department. They're probably still grilling him in the interrogation room. Hopefully, they'll be able to drag some information out of that douche.

Seems likely. I'm nowhere near an expert on that subject. Perhaps I was trying to get at a, well I don't really wanna say 'paranormal' explanation, but you get where I'm coming from.Let's just say I've got more of an open mind about stuff I thought impossible before.

As Toru sat in his car, fresh from looking over another rejected one-man home in the vicinity of the apartment complex, he'd decided to check up on Bedlam via his mobile phone.
What he saw was both good and... potentially bad. He just hoped that whatever info they got out of the dealer would lead them to Lotus without leading them to Shiori. Still, he should probably warn--
...And now he was thinking like an accomplice. Fantastic.
He typed out a quick message and went about his business, putting it out of his mind for the time being.

It's good to know that progress is being made, at any rate. Keep doing whatever you can to get this thing off our streets, guys--Nagashima has enough problems as it is.
@ BrassRing - An open mind and a gullible mind aren't one and the same thing. I would just like to take this opportunity to remind everyone of that. In my line of work, goodness knows I've seen more than my share of the latter!

Me and my father read this, and as a scientist, he is interested in this drug. He told me that he might want to study it once he gets a hold on its sample. Distributing the drug around is bad, though.

If you take anything without knowing what it will do to your brain chemistry, then you're not only asking for whatever happens to you, you're paying to have it done to you. More likely it's a deliriant or dissociative or something that makes you believe the hype and think that you've suppressed a memory or something.
On the other hand, I'd advise against trying to suppress anything persona-related. You block something like that and it's like building a dam out of found materials. Yeah, you're dry for a bit, but it's not going to hold forever, and when it bursts you're beyond wrecked.
