Synthetic Opioids

To turn lead into gold was the dream and the goal of all the medieval alchemists - with the same passion, nowadays, pharmaceutists want to find a harmless sedative drug. The most unacceptable properties of morphine and those of the other classic opiates are euphoria, which quickly makes people addict, and oppression of breathing. Originally relatively few changes were made in the structure of the morphine molecule. In this way many semi-synthetic substances were prepared, which yet have the same disadvantages of morphine. The next stage was to find absolutely synthetic analgetics. If you are no expert, you will find no difference between them and morphine, but they interact with the same opiate receptors in the brain.

The reason for manufacturers to change the old narcotics with new synthetic ones is only, because in this way, much more money is earned. With the same money invested, they may earn thousand times more money.
