 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.
