 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.
