 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.
