 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.
