opiate
opiate One of a group of drugs derived from
opium, an extract of the poppy plant
Papaver somniferum that depresses brain function (a
narcotic action). Opiates include
morphine and its synthetic derivatives, such as
heroin and codeine. They are used in medicine chiefly to relieve pain, but the use of morphine and heroin is strictly controlled since they can cause drug dependence and tolerance.
