•
Morphine is a strictly regulated opioid used in medical treatments as a painkiller.
•
Common forms include tablets and oral solutions.
•
Restrictions exist because the drug has a high potential for abuse which can lead to possibly fatal overdoses.
• Other effects include slowed breathing and pulse rate, sleepiness, and clammy skin. Any non-prescription use of morphine, or any drug in fact, is considered illegal.
