 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.
