 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.
