 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.
