 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.
