 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.
