Morphine is an opiate that is synthesized from the poppy plant and prescribed to treat moderate to severe pain. Commonly available in a tablet, liquid, or suppository form, morphine can be swallowed, injected, or consumed to produce euphoric effects. These can range from mild sedation and pleasure to respiratory depression and possible death. Many street names for morphine have evolved as the use of this drug has become more and more popular. Nearly 95% of Americans who misuse prescription painkillers abuse prescription opioids. This accounts for around 7.6 million people across the U.S.

Individuals who abuse morphine have also come up with a long list of undercover terminology and lingo to openly discuss the drug on the streets. Unsuspecting non-drug users often hear street names for morphine being used in conversations and don’t even realize that there is an illicit nature to the conversation at hand. This is why it’s so important to recognize the many different morphine street names that your friend or loved one may be using right in front of you.

Street Names for Morphine Use

In addition to the lingo that users have come up with to discuss the drug itself, many street names and terminology forms have evolved to discuss the use of morphine. For instance, to discuss a doctor who openly prescribes morphine to patients who don’t necessarily need it, users may refer to an “author.” This term is used because the doctor is said to “author” prescriptions to anyone who comes with money in hand.

Terms such as “heading off to dreamland” or “I’m a dreamer” may refer to the use of morphine, as the drug is often called “dreamer.” Some will say, “I’m going to Morf” or “I’ve been hanging out with the gods,” to reference the use of morphine. Now that you know a little more about how to spot these key terms, you can listen for them more carefully in conversation.
