 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.
