 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.
