 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.
