 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.
