 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.
