 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.
