 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.
