 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.
