 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.
