Morphine is a great drug. It is a great cough suppressent, stops diarrhea
and stops pain. OF course, it has the addictive side effects as well as
resp. depression. However, in the early days of this century and before, it
was about all the good medicine that was available.
Morphine is closely related to heroin.
