Scopolamine. Been used in medicine since early 1900’s.
From the nightshade family. Henbane, mandrake, belladonna has some of it ..more atropine though, Jimson weed ( for the old hippies out there)Interestingly tomatoes and potatoes are from the same family ..but have very little in the edible parts ..
Decent medicinal view presented on Drugs.com...under “professional”...Wikipedia has a decent review
Article is sensationalistic.Next thing y’know..someones gonna overdose on ethanol and Benadryl and all the criminals will start using that and we’ll get another breathless ignoramus “journalist” to write another sensational piece.
Since early 1900’s.....

Berton Roueche used to write medical-mystery pieces for the New Yorker, starting in the 1940s. One of them, "Something a Little Unusual" from 1965, describes the results of grafting tomato plants onto Jimson-weed stock. Fortunately nobody died.
