 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.
