 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.
