 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.
