 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.
