 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.
