 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.
