 i   had   this   idea  that  you   could 
  construct reality checks (as for lucid  
 dreaming, where you'd  learn  this habit 
 of trying  to sneakily break  the  rules 
 of   causality   or   physics,  such  as 
 flipping a  light  switch  to  see if it 
 actually  turns  off   the   lights,  or 
 trying  to  get  your   hands  to  phase 
 together. the thought being that if  any 
 of the  "checks" actually worked,  you'd 
 know  you  were  dreaming)   for  datura 
                  plants.                 
                                          
 i thought,  you  could  get in the habit 
 of  throwing things  on the ground, like 
    pens. meant to portray cigarettes,    
 because everyone  who does datura smokes 
 cigarettes.  (they in  fact aren't,  and 
 so   sooner  or   later  the  cigarettes 
 disappear,  and they  search the ground, 
 but nothing's  there.) throwing pens  on 
 the  ground  and  picking  them back up. 
 and  be really concerned if they weren't 
               to be there.               
                                          
 this  is  probably  not  how  deliriants 
 work.   but   i    had   the    thought.
