 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.
