A member asked:
Does thebaine get metabolized into codeine or morphine in the human body?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Neither: The chemical structure of thebaine is similar to both morphine and codeine. When taken orally, it is not converted to either morphine or codeine. It acts as a stimulant rather than a central nervous system depressant. It is a schedule ll drug in the us which means that it can be abused.
