There is a substance which induces an hypnotic state during which a person can be induced to carry out instructions of which he later has no recall. I’ve lost the link. Will let you know if I find it again.

Hmm, I remember something about that, IIRC made from the belladonna plant. I’ll take a look: - I think it’s scopolamine maybe?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atropa_belladonna

Atropa belladonna or Atropa bella-donna, commonly known as belladonna or deadly nightshade, is a perennial herbaceous plant in the family Solanaceae, native to Europe, North Africa, Western Asia, and some parts of Canada and the United States. The foliage and berries are extremely toxic, containing tropane alkaloids. These toxins include scopolamine and hyoscyamine, which cause a bizarre delirium and hallucinations,[1] and are also used as pharmaceutical anticholinergics. The drug atropine is derived from the plant.
