Heroin, opium, morphine, and codeine--the natural opioids. In Heroin and Other Opioids: Poppies' Perilous Children, you'll learn about these substances as well as newer derivatives, all of which can impact lives in serious and negative ways.

Legal derivatives were also produced and marketed as effective treatments for pain and other conditions.
