 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.
