 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.
