 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.
