 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.
