 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.
