 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.
