 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.
