Except for morphine, pretty much every opioid is just a chemical out body metabolizes into morphine

Only codeine and heroin have this as their primary mechanism of action I'm fairly sure? Oxycodone is active itself without metabolism, as are many other opioids.

Yes, metabolism will still make a difference though.
