 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.
