Do doctors ever tell patients to snort morphine?
NOOO that is bad if a docter did cause its like him telling the patient to smoke marawana which is wrong
Is it possible to drink Morphine that is administered through a drip bag?
As I could not find an answer to this question anywhere on the internet, I felt compelled to answer it myself, after experimenting. It seems that it is in fact possible to drink Morphine, mind you, I consumed 15mg of muriate from an ampule. I can't say that it was enough to reach the desired effect, but since I could not find an answer, I had to start small. Next try will be 30. Regardless, yes, it is possible.
Also, I found an article online about some guy who was arrested after stealing morphine from a drip bag. Seems his mother had died, and instead of feeling remorse, he simply decided to get high. A nurse caught him and he fled. The long arm of the law managed to find him at a bus stop, drinking morphine from a water bottle.
Peace,

Will Dilaudid help with morphine withdrawals?
do not take dilaudid for morphine withdrawals.this is ascenine..U will simply start your detox over being how dilaudid is 4 to 5 times stronger than morphine accroding to mgs. It will stop your withdrawals and when that pill has worn off you will be in worse shape than you started. Dilaudid is just as or more addictive than morphine.Hope this helps.hang in there I'm on day 4 of morphine withdrawals myself...just hang tight i know it sux but you can do it..

Also a major factor that makes Dilaudid unsuitable for treating morphine withdrawal is, like morphine, it has a short half-life and relatively short duration of action. The longer acting opioids (such as methadone) are used for tapering and maintenance because they require less frequent dosing and stay in the body longer, thus creating less harsh withdrawal symptoms.
Do all prescription opiates come up as just opiate on urine test?
Depending on the type of test that is being given the answer is generally yes. Prescription opiates are ultimately all some form of morphine derivative meaning that the drug will contain alkaloids from the poppy plant and will metabolize in the body the same way. Most standard five panel "dip stick" drug tests look for the presence of morphine in the urine and since all opiates are derived from the drug morphine the test would pick up on it.
The only exception to this would be the opioid class of drugs such as ultram / tramadol, suboxone, oxycodone and other "synthetics". This is because opioid drugs are "synthetically" created to attach themselves to the same receptors in the brain and to some degree or another have a similar chemical structure but because they are "man made" and not derived directly from the poppy plant they would not break down metabolically in the body the same way and thus would not be detected as an opiate on a standard five panel "dip stick" test.
Opioids are however easily detectable in the urine if the test that is being administered is designed to look for them specifically but they would not show up as an opiate, they would show up as an opioid.
Understanding the difference between opoids and opiates and how they metabolize and break down in the body as well as the type of drug test that is being administered is the key factor when considering this matter.....
What type of properties does the opiate codiene exhibit?
The opiate known as Codiene is typically used to treat mild to moderate pain and to relieve a cough. It can also be used in combination with other drugs to treat diarrhea and irritable bowel syndrome.
Yes, Suboxone (buprenorphine) has been successfully used as a detoxification protocol to wean patients from opiate usage while minimizing withdrawal symptoms. Its molecules have a similar affinity for the same receptors as opiates but cause a less strong addictive potential, thus blocking the opiates and down-regulating the receptors for withdrawal. It may be used alone, or in combination with benzodiazepines (as Ativan, Xanax) or clonidine.
Is opiates drug both illegal and legal?
illegal unless proscribed. (Morphine is an opiate unless I am mistaken)
Rephrase of my original question: I think morphine, heroin, and opium are all opiates derived from poppies. What I am trying to determine is whether it is feasible to think about converting growers of poppies in Afghanistan, who currently sell to purveyors of illegal drugs, to a legal agricultural crop that supplies worldwide opiate (raw material) to pharmaceutical companies who serve legal drug markets (doctors/hospitals, etc).

Are vocodin and oxycodone apap both classified as opiates?
Vicodin (generic is hydrocodone) and oxycodone apap are both classified as opiates. I assume the person asking the question meant Vicodin instead of Vocodin. Oxycodone apap is the generic form of OxyContin with acetaminophen added. Acetaminophen is the generic form of Tylenol. AFAIK, both are Schedule II opiates.

Can marijuana help with opiate withdrawl symptoms?
Only if it's high-grade, and even then it only helps for maybe 30 minutes. Try to find an indica-dominate strain over a sativa-dominate one, as indica gives you more of the "couch-lock" downer high, and sativa is more uppity. It will help slightly with aches and pains, as well as insomnia. It'll get your mind off of things too for a while, but one of the most important things it does in my opinion is help you to eat! Of course everyone's different, I'm only reporting my experience.
Dear Swelling,
I am not a nurse nor a doctor but I have taken several medical classes. According to my education, when the menstrual cycle approaches and occurs the body is retaining excessive amounts of fluid (hence the reason for many PMS pills that control water weight gain and bloating)it is almost like the body is dehydrated and holds excess fluid to compensate. So this is definitely a normal side affect but the extent of your problem may question the issue of seeing your physician.
