 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.
