 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.
