 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.
