 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.
