The Fentanyl patches by over twice the margin.
120mg of oral morphine every 8 hours is equal to 360mg per day of oral morphine (24hr period). The Fentanyl patch equivalent dose (Duragesic for comparison purposes) is a single 100mcg Fentanyl patch.

What is stronger Opana or Oxycontin?
Extremely - a single 100mcg/hr Fentanyl patch (good for 48-72 hrs depending on the patient) is equivalent to an overall Oxycodone dosage of 202mg per day, or about 9mg Oxycodone every hour for 24 hours. The average Oxycodone dose is about 10-20mg every 6 hours. Fentanyl is the strongest opiate on the planet at 100x stronger than oral morphine.

Is Hydocone and morphine in the same drug category?
Basically, yes. Percocet is a combination of oxycodone hydrochloride and acetaminophen (Tylenol™). Morphine, like oxycodone, is in the opioid family. Addition by Echo646: Morphine is stronger than percocet, however, and it can be more addictive and more likely to cause dependence, so even more care should be used when taking morphine. Every other opioid is judged by how well they treat pain compared to morphine.

Is dilatid like morphine?
I'll assume you mean "DILAUDID." Yes, both are mu-opioid agonists and work in a similar fashion. Typically, dilaudid (hydromorphone) is more efficacious (stronger) than morphine, but tends to last for shorter time. A patient that is in moderate pain may be given, for example: * 10mg Morphine Sulfate every 6 hours by I.M. injection * 2mg hydromorphine HCl, PRN (as needed) for breakthrough pain, by I.M. injection. In this instance, the doctors are using morphine to cover the pain in 6 hour blocks of time, while using the hydromorphone as needed for any pain that still remains.

Was morphine common in the 1960s?
While morphine was being used illicitly at the time, and although there was a successful black market for morphine, heroin was much more popular and was considered a larger threat. the DEA knew of one smuggling ring that moved 200lbs of morphine into the U.S. every week back in 1968. Morphine was used as a general anesthetic on battlefields during the Vietnam War and there is evidence that addiction to morphine was most popular with veterans returning home.
