 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.
