 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.
