 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.
