 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.
