 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.
