 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.
