 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.
