 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.
