 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.
