 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.
