 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.
