 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.
