 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.
