 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.
