 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.
