 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.
