 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.
