Usage of Opiate versus Opioid





                                                      Opiate / Opioid


Opiates are naturally occurring and organic nitrogenous molecules, which posses a pharmaceutical value to humans and animals. 

Opioids are synthetic nitrogenous molecules, which posses a pharmaceutical value to humans and animals.

Common parlance tends to use the term "opiate" to refer to all opiate/opioid drugs if not otherwise specified.
