 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.
