 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.
