 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.
