 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.
