 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.
