 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.
