 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.
