 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.
