 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.
