 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.
