 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.
