 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.
