 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.
