 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.
