 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.
