 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.
