 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.
