Opioid

The term Opioid is used to refer to any psychoactive drug, natural or synthetic, that causes the same physical and mental effects as opium-derived drugs such as morphine, codeine, or heroin. Although often used interchangeably, opioid is not a synonym for Opiates, as the term opiate refers only to opium-derived substances.
