Beth Mole at ArsTechnica has an article about the levels of belladonna in homeopathic teething products made by Hyland's:
After investigating reports that more than 400 babies were sickened and 10 died in connection with homeopathic teething products, the Food and Drug Administration confirmed Friday that it had indeed found elevated levels of the toxic substance, belladonna, in the products.
Belladonna, also known as deadly nightshade, was the prime suspect of the investigation from the beginning, which Ars reported about last fall. Nevertheless, the products' maker, Hyland's, would not agree to recall the products when it was notified of the FDA's conclusion, the agency reported
In a response to Ars, Hyland's has acknowledged that there are some inconsistencies in the amount of belladonna in its products, but the company said that it has not seen any evidence from the FDA indicating that the elevated levels were toxic or excessive. [...]The FDA said it had found inconsistent amounts of belladonna in Hyland's products. Some of the amounts were "far exceeding" what was intended.
[...] As before, the FDA is urging parents to avoid the homeopathic teething products and toss any already purchased. The FDA does not evaluate or approve the homeopathic products, which have no proven health benefit.

Do we finally have an explanation for Runaway1926? Belladonna! And Laudanum. Hillbilly Heroin, before there were Hillibillies or Heroin! Something to do with a White Horse Prophecy, but not Mormon at all. Brain damage. Fox News. Brietfart! All makes sense now. . . . Really!!! Seamonkeys took my hair... Steven Bannon is my love. Why are you all wearing tutus?

1956, not 1926. His issues can be explained by childhood abuse, then abuse in the armed forces (giving and receiving, no doubt). I'd be surprised if he did any drugs other than the socially accepted ones, tobacco and alcohol.
