 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.
