 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.
