 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.
