 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.
