I write papers like this ALL the time, becaue I study psychopharmacology (mind-altering drugs). The best way is to start with just the facts. Morphine is an opiate (it comes from opium)
Here's some base facts about Morphine
Morphine is one of the most effective drugs known for the relief of pain, and is the standard that new pain-relief medication is measured against. It also has several medical applications beyond pain-relief, and is frequently used in emergency medicine. It is available in oral solutions, sustained-release tablets, suppositories, and injectable preparations. The majority of morphine that is used illegally occurs in pill form. Morphine has proved to be extremely addictive. People also build up a tolerance to morphine easily, causing them to need more to achieve desired effects.
