 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.
