 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.
