 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.
