 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.
