 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.
