 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.
