 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.
