 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.
