 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.
