 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.
