 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.
