 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.
