Answer by Mathieu
Here is a tip, anyone who says “opiates are synthetic heroin” is wrong- it is just a fact.

By most definitions oxycodone is NOT an opiate, it is an opioid.
Opioids are natural or synthetic compounds that produce morphine-like effects primarily by binding to mu opioid receptors. [Note: The term opiate is reserved for drugs, such as morphine or codeine, obtained from the sap of the opium poppy].

Also diacetylmorphine (heroin) is a semi-synthetic opioid, it is NOT natural. Oxycodone is also a semi-synthetic opioid. They are both equally as natural and equally as synthetic.

Having said that both heroin and oxycodone are full opioid agonists.    Read more...

Answer by Sonii
Methadone is available as a tablet, solution, or injectable liquid.

Methadone is a synthetic narcotic analgesic in the schedule II class of narcotics. It is in the same drug class as morphine, fentanyl, etc. Methadone is an opiate.

Just a little more — methadone is considered to be the legal “heroin” as it is used to get people off heroin, but it is so addictive that it only causes them to become addicted to it instead.
