 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.
