 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.
