 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.
