 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.
