 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.
