 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.
