 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.
