 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.
