 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.
