 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.
