But an opiate is derived from opium, some being non, partial or full synthetics. Heroin is a non synthetic. Oxy is full synthetic. Along with fentanyl.
Oh, I am putting my mrsD hat on now.... Heroin is synthetic too:

Heroin (diacetylmorphine or morphine diacetate (INN)), also known as diamorphine (BAN), and colloquially as H, dope, smack, horse, brown, black, tar, and other names is an opioid analgesic synthesized by C.R. Alder Wright in 1874 by adding two acetyl groups to the molecule morphine found in the opium poppy. It is the 3,6-diacetyl ester of morphine, and functions as a morphine prodrug (meaning that it is metabolically converted to morphine inside the body in order for it to work).[4]
Morphine is a natural opiate found in opium that is used today.

Morphine is the most abundant alkaloid found in opium, the dried latex extracted by shallowly slicing the unripe seedpods of the Papaver somniferum poppy. Morphine was the first active principle purified from a plant source and is one of at least 50 alkaloids of several different types present in opium, poppy straw concentrate, and other poppy derivatives.
Codeine is also naturally found in opium.
