 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.
