 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.
