 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.
