 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.
