Morphine is a strong medicine found in nature in opium, a dark brown resin inside poppies. It is mainly used as a pain killer since time immemorial, and of course to manufacture other prohibited drugs. Morphine has been named after Morpheus, the Greek God of imaginings.

In essence, Morphine gives a mood of ecstasy or an otherworldly condition. Morphine is taken out from the Opium poppy plant or from concerted poppy straw. Its chemical structure is similar to Heroin, as they are both removed from the same plant.
