What is a synthetic opiate?!
Question:
What is a synthetic opiate?
Answers:
An opiate is derived from the opium poppy, i.e., opium, heroin, morphine, codeine.
Semi-synthetic opiates like oxycodone and hydrocodone are made by modifying chemicals found in poppies. These are also sometimes classified as synthetic opiates.
Synthetic opiates are not made from poppies, i.e., Darvon, Demerol, and Methadone.
