 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.
