 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.
