 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.
