[edit] Spam
A spammer tried inserting links to illegal drug purchasing websites located on the following domain names: mysteria.cz webzdarma.cz fromru.com land.ru atspace.us atspace.biz atspace.org
Spam seems to be a serious issue for drug related articles and templates. I suggest taking more active measures than simply banning dynamic IP addresses, which is rather ineffective.

[edit] Endorphins
Are any forms of endorphins (beta-endorphins) actually prescribed as a drug? It seems to me that refers to the chemicals in the body, not any prescribed drug, so I'll remove it if there's no objections. Nathan J. Yoder 19:39, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
- Well, originally it was the abiguous Endorphins before I edited it to beta-Endorphin. If the template is to be limited to pharmaceutical opioids, thebaine should probably be removed as well. --Bk0 19:44, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
I think it should, then otherwise we have to add things like serotonin and other endogenous opioids. Nathan J. Yoder 09:33, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] opioids vs opiates
opioids are endogenous to the human body whereas opiates are exogenous molecules or chemically synthesized molecules. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 128.195.108.249 (talk • contribs).
- Actually, opiates come from the opium poppy, and opioids include opiates as well as synthetic and semi-synthetic drugs (and endogenous chemicals) that bind to the same receptors. --Galaxiaad 00:20, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Merge?
I think this template should be merged into Template:Analgesics, as only 3 pages include this one. Template:Analgesics has a far longer list of opioids at the moment anyway. --Galaxiaad 00:28, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
