 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.
