 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.
