Opium and its congeners come from the poppy plant. The most potent in the World comes from the Golden Triangle in the Far East. All preparations of this is simply opium in some vehicle whether codeine in cough medicine, Tylenol with Codeine, or Morphine. Synthetic opiates like Oxycontin, Dilaudid, hydrocodone (Vicodin) have the same opiate basic moiety.
