 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.
