 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.
