 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.
