 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.
