 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.
