 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.
