 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.
