 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.
