∙ 15y agoCodeine and morphine are both opioid analgesics which are derived from the poppy plant. Because they are derived from the same plant, they contain some of the same chemical properties, and both bind to opioid receptors in the brain. However, morphine is much more powerful, codeine is considered a "weak" opioid analgesic, (is used in parts of tussin-type cough syrups) whereas morphine is most often prescribed for severe pain, such as post-surgical.

Heroin breaks down into codeine and morphine. Codeine breaks down into morphine. The opiate drug tests look for codeine, morphine, and 6-acetyl-morphine. The presence of 6-acetyl-morphine is relatively conclusive of recent heroin use, but is only detectable for a few hours after use. The presence of codeine can be the result of either heroin or codeine use. The presence of morphine can be the result of the use of heroin, codeine, or morphine. Relative levels of codeine and morphine can help determine their origin.
