 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.
