While some opioids—like Vicodin and morphine—are powerful prescription pain relievers, they are sometimes abused and not taken as prescribed by a doctor. Cocaine, however, is a central nervous system stimulant - a class of drugs that can produce feelings of energy, power and intense concentration. Both stimulants and opioids can produce a "high" but can also be dangerous, addictive, and, in cases of overdose, result in death.
