 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.
