Opium
Opium is a natural opioid derived from the dried latex of the poppy plant. It primarily acts as an agonist at various opioid receptors and has analgesic, sedative, and euphoric effects. Due to its high potential for addiction and the risk of respiratory depression, its use is classified as high-risk. Opium contains several alkaloids, including morphine and codeine, which are responsible for its pharmacological effects.
