 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.
