Morphine is a naturally occurring substance that is extracted from the seed pod of the Asian opium poppy plant. Heroin generally appears as a brown or white powder or as a black sticky substance, known as black tar heroin. Heroin is made from opium, but opium is not the same thing as heroin. Opium contains various alkaloids, one of which is morphine, and morphine is what heroin is created from. Heroin is also an illicit manmade drug, whereas opium is a completely natural substance.
