 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.
