 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.
