 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.
