 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.
