Yes it can be (depending on the dose and length of time taken), and is highly addictive. Usually Morphine is not given to patients unless they have a terminal illness or a very severe pain management issue.

In the long run, you bet.
The vast majority of people become psychologically addicted long before becoming physically addicted to morphine.
Depending on the frequency and amount of morphine one is taking it can take months before physical addiction occurs...psychological addiction can be numbered in days.

Yes, it can be. Morphine is related to heroin. The possible addictive properties of morphine are the reason why it is so carefully guarded by hospitals.

Yes it is that is why it is only given out as a prescription - the strongest drug you can get in the USA - in Britain they give out heroin as a painkiller in the hospitals but not here....don't take it unless it's your own prescription!
