 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.
