 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.
