 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.
