 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.
