 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.
