 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.
