 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.
