No, morphine is stronger because morphine is the most potent chemical in opium. Codeine, thebaine, and a few other chemicals are also in opium, but they are weaker than morphine and thus weaken the whole compound. However, some people prefer the euphoria that opium provides over that of morphine' morphine euphoria has been described by some as a bit "flat".

How is diamorphine stronger than morphine sulphate?
Diamorphine is not actually stronger than morphine per se, but it does act a lot quicker than morphine. Diamorphine is converted into morphine in the body and although diamorphine and morphine are almost identical, doses of them are not therapeutically equivalent. For example, 30mg of diamorphine is the same as 45mg of morphine. So maybe diamorphine can be thought of as being stronger than morphine, as it takes 1/3 less to give the same effect. Also the quicker onset of diamorphine can give the impression of it being stronger.

Are the affects from raw opium stronger than the affects of heroin?
Not at all. Raw opium contains a mixture of several alkaloids, the most powerful of which is morphine. While morphine is a very powerful drug, it has a difficult time passing through the blood-brain-barrier, and therefore is not as powerful as diacetylmorphine (heroin) which quickly passes into the brain for immediate and powerful effects.
Why does your blood have no opium if you are taking opium?
