 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.
