 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.
