 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.
