 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.
