 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.
