 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.
