 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.
