 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.
