 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.
