 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.
