 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.
