 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.
