 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.
