 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.
