Morphine Short-term Effects

A morphine high gives the user feelings of euphoria, intense relaxation, and decreased perception of pain.

Morphine is available in a number of forms, including a variety of tablets for oral or rectal administration, and solution form for IV administration. The effects of the many oral forms of morphine may be intensified by ingestion of the drug via an alternate method, which can include crushing pills to then smoke or dissolving them in solution for injection. Users who do this subject themselves to serious side effects and overdose.

LONG TERM EFFECTS

The main risk associated with long-term use of morphine is the development of addiction. Opiate addiction can ravage your life and that of your loved ones. Morphine addiction can cause you to:

Lose interest in family, friends, and work obligations.

Prioritize the finding and using of morphine above all else.

Ignore your health, even if many of the health problems are related to morphine use.

Develop financial problems as a result of spending to get the drug.

Steal from others/become involved in criminal activity.

As your use continues and addiction worsens, you will also experience very uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms when you are not using.

Injecting morphine may also lead to the development of Hepatitis-C, HIV-Aids and other infections from using dirty needles.
