 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.
