 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.
