 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.
