 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.
