Diacetylmorphine is most certainly not an opiate as it is not an alkaloid of the opium poppy plant. Opiates are the natural compounds found in the opium poppy while everything else is either a semi-synthetic opioid (one of the alkaloids was used as the reactant during synthesis) or a fully synthetic opioid (an opioid product that was created using non-alkaloidal reactants). Diacetylmorphine is a semisynthetic opioid. The word itself literally means "like an opiate". 80.187.66.135 (talk) 15:59, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
