 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.
