 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.
