 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.
