 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.
