 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.
