 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.
