 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.
