 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.
