AB Opioids  refers  broadly  to  all  compounds  related  to  opium  that  possess  analgesic  and  sedative  properties.  Opiate  describes  the  opioid  alkaloids  found  naturally  in  the  opium  poppy  plant,  Papaver  somniferum.  The  term  narcotic  refers  to  a  broader  group  of  agents,  predominantly  used  by  law  enforcement  to  designate  a  variety  of  controlled  substances  with  abuse  or  addictive  potential;  use  of  this  term  in  medical  practice  is  discouraged.
