 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.
