 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.
