 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.
