 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.
