Types of Opioids:
Prescription Opioids: These are often prescribed for pain relief and include medications such as oxycodone, hydrocodone, codeine, and morphine.
Illegal Opioids: Examples include heroin, which is derived from morphine, and synthetic opioids like fentanyl.
Mechanism of Action:
Opioids bind to specific receptors in the brain and spinal cord known as opioid receptors.
Activation of these receptors leads to a decrease in the perception of pain and an increase in pleasure, but it can also result in drowsiness and euphoria.
Cannabinoids are a group of chemicals , which interact
with cannabinoid receptors present principally in the brain. Natural
cannabinoids are obtained from the inflorescences of the plant Cannabis
sativa
Coca alkaloid or cocaine is obtained from coca
plant Erythroxylum coca, native to South America. It
interferes with the transport of the neuro-transmitter
dopamine. Cocaine, commonly called coke or crack is
usually snorted. It has a potent stimulating action on
central nervous system, producing a sense of euphoria
and increased energy. Excessive dosage of cocaine
causes hallucinations.
