 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.
