 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.
