 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.
