 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.
