 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.
