 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.
