 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.
