 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.
