 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.
