	Morphine - LoveToKnow 1911
		A violent paroxysm of asthma may be arrested by the administration of morphine subcutaneously, but the practice should not be continued, as there is great danger in a chronic disease that the patient may become the victim of morphinism.
		Morphine is a sheet anchor in the later stages of cancer and other painful diseases, rendering the life of the patient one of comparative comfort.
		The early stages of morphinism are marked by moral degeneration; the patient seems to lose all sense of right and wrong, and will lie most plausibly and even thieve to obtain the drug; personal disorderliness, disregard of time, neglect of business and decline of family affection become soon evident.

	Morphine
		Morphine is the principal constituent of opium and can range in concentration from 4 to 21 percent.
		Morphine is one of the most effective drugs known for the relief of severe pain and remains the standard against which new analgesics are measured.
		Morphine is marketed under generic and brand name products including "MS-Contin®," Oramorph SR®," MSIR®," Roxanol®," Kadian®," and RMS®." Morphine is used parenterally (by injection) for preoperative sedation, as a supplement to anesthesia, and for analgesia.

	Morphine
		Morphine is a member of the narcotic family, all of which are derived from the opium poppy.
		Morphine is an ampholyte, with a pKa of 9.85, 7.87, total body clearance of 72 L/h, a half life of 2.5 hours, with 35% protein binding, which is relatively low compared to methadone which has 80% protein binding (Mammen, 1990).
		Morphine is shown to be involved in the regulation of temperature, gastro-intestinal motility, behavioural pattern, extrapyrimidal motor activity, cardiac and respiratory rate, appetite and thirst and certain endocrinological effects; it acts as a depressant.

	UNODC - Bulletin on Narcotics - 1951 Issue 2 - 005
		The respiratory centre is depressed by even small quantities of morphine, and the use of morphine in obstetrics is limited by the fact that minute doses produce this bulbar depression to a dangerous degree in the foetus and the new-born infant.
		Inferior to morphine in its analgesic properties, codeine is also less toxic, while some of its undesirable secondary actions, such as the danger of addiction and the effect on the intestine, are much less pronounced.
		The complexity of the morphine molecule stood in the way of a speedy and systematic investigation of the value of the various morphinic fragments, and the uncertainty which still persisted regarding its constitution was an additional obstacle.

	Morphine
		Opioid analgesics, including morphine, codeine, levorphanol, heroin and structurally less similar drugs such as meperidine all have an aromatic ring and a quaternary carbon atom linked to a tertiary amine group by two other carbon atoms.
		This is known as the morphine rule, but it should be pointed out that all of the opioids below also have a methyl group attached to a nitrogen atom.
		Substitute morphine’s methyl group with a propenyl group, and you create nalorphine, an antagonist which counters morphine’s effects.

	Morphine: The Best of Morphine 1992-1995 - PopMatters Music Review
		Yet this Boston trio, who dubbed themselves Morphine, managed to create a sound all their own over the 10 years they were together, fusing rock, jazz, and soul like no other band before or since.
		As much as fans loved Morphine back in the '90s, their albums, aside from 1993's stellar Cure For Pain, sometimes sounded a bit spotty, but they were never short of great moments, so a best-of compilation really works well in Morphine's case, giving us a solid hour's worth of great music.
		It's Morphine's 1993 album Cure For Pain, though, that most fans love the most, and it's evident the surviving band members feel the same way, since five of that album's songs are included.
