 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.
