 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.
