 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.
