 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.
