 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.
