 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.
