 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.
