 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.
