 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.
