Just because a drug produces amnesia for episodic memory doesn’t mean that it shuts down all other types of memory as well. Without a drug whose amnesic properties are well studied in a variety of contexts, you don’t know to what extent the drug actually shuts down the memory mechanisms that are relevant to your experiment and to what extent.
GHB could also be a candidate: apparently, it was used as an alternative to MDMA in the 90s – if you’re conscious enough to party, you’re conscious enough to take a damn survey.
Just because you are conscious enough to take the study, doesn’t mean that your answer won’t be severely affected by the drug.
In general, I don’t believe that blinding helps substantially with seeing for personal experiments. If you want to know whether you actually understand phenomena, making predictions around the phenomena and then checking your credence is more promising than fetishizing blinding.
