A.Drugged indifference to everything but eating more lotus

When someone eats a lotus, they forget what they are doing and are compelled to eat more lotus. They forget what they were doing before and have no desire to leave. They didn't care if they got home. Odysseus had to drag them to the ship and tie them in order to leave the island of the lotus eaters.
