 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.
