 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.
