 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.
