 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.
