 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.
