 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.
