a synthetic opiate is different from an actual opiate analgesic because it is created chemically in a lab and therefore is not a real opiate it just acts like one in your body targeting the same nerve receptors that perceive pain to alter your body's reaction to that pain synthetic opiates would be drugs such as Ultram or tramadol Darvocet or propoxyphene opiate analgesics are also labeled as controlled substances or narcotics where as synthetics are not because even though they are supposed to do the same thing you can never truly manipulate the effect of the real thing in my opinion the real drugs always work better but synthetics are less addictive and therefore usually prescribed more. Also a synthetic opiate or narcotic will not show up as a narcotic in a drug test.

What is a synthetic opiate?
A synthetic opiate is one that is produced with a petrochemical base rather than partial natural one. The petrochemical base would be cheaper if it could be done.

No, they are two different opiates, but in the brain when one has just took oxycodone/contin all opiates are transduced into morphine, so in other words the brain detects the opiate, but it doesn't see it as oxycodone, it see it as morphine. Morphine has better pain killing effects, and Oxycontin is the best recreational opiate available by far.
