What is Morphine

Morphine belongs to the family of opioids. It is a depressant of the central nervous system that removes the physical and mental pain.

It is the precursor of heroin. Morphine may be in the form of crystals, tablets, white liquid, tablets, capsules, salts, powder or syrup. It can drink, smoked, taken orally or rectally (suppository), injected or sustained-release (as a patch). It’s called ”Mr. Morp,” ”morph,” ”Unki” or ”Miss Emm”.
