 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.
