 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.
