 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.
