 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.
