 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.
