 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.
