 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.
