 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.
