 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.
