 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.
