 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.
