 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.
