 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.
