Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Opiates, such as morphine and heroin, mimic the action of endorphins by binding to the same receptors in the brain and spinal cord, producing pain relief, euphoria, and a sense of well-being. Barbiturates, depressants, and psychedelics have different mechanisms of action and do not mimic endorphins.
