 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.
