 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.
