 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.
