 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.
