 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.
