 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.
