 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.
