 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.
