 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.
