 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.
