 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.
