 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.
