 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.
