 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.
