 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.
