 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.
