 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.
