 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.
