 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.
