 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.
