 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.
