 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.
