 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.
