 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.
