 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.
