 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.
