 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.
