 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.
