 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.
