 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.
