 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.
