 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.
