 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.
