 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.
