 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.
