 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.
