 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.
