 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.
