 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.
