 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.
