 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.
