 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.
