 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.
