 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.
