 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.
