Morphine pharmacology?

[Nick A]

I'm doing a project for chemistry and I need information on the pharmacology (chemistry) of morphine and other opiates. I can only use one encyclopedia source and one website; all the other sources have to be journals of some sort online or at a library. I was wondering if anyone could maybe point me to a website that might have this sort of information on it in easy-to-understand writing (for a high school junior).
Most of the sites I've looked at are either to scientific to read, or they are too vague.

If you plan to look for journals that discuss these topics online, you are better off looking for it in your library since you have to pay to see these journals. The websites that you would see might be filled with medical jargon because it is really hard to explain the pharmacology of morphine without going into a lot of scientific and chemical names that may sometimes confuse a high school junior. Nevertheless, I found a website that might help you with your research. You may find it a bit scientific but its a great explanation for morphine pharmacology. If there are some parts that you might not understand due to it being too much technical, I would be glad to be of help.

here is the website. [url=http://www.jr2.ox.ac.uk/bandolier/booth/painpag/wisdom/c14.html#RTFToC26]OPIOID PROBLEMS, AND MORPHINE METABOLISM AND EXCRETION[/url]

you can try wikipedia too and this site [url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7577774]1994 John J. Bonica Lecture.
