 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.
