 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.
