 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.
