 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.
