 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.
