Apomorphine is not an opioid drug. It's a dopamine agonist and it can have stimulant-like effects on some people but it also causes nausea and involuntary movements as a side effect.

Apomorphine is so named because it's a degradation product of morphine, it's the end product when you boil morphine with strong acids

There's no opioid activity and instead it acts as an agonist of dopamine receptors. I think William Burroughs reccomended it for a sort of aversion therapy to treat opioid use?

One of the major effects it causes, due to stimulating dopamine receptors in the chemoreceptor trigger zone, is a powerful emetic effect. Veterinarians sometimes will use it to make cats and dogs puke up things that they shouldn't have in their stomach.

No recreational value at all.

Hmm... that's a very interesting bit of information. ^

I actually once smoked some weed with a veterinarian tech, she mentioned to me that once they had their clinic broken into by people looking for the good dope, unfortunately they couldn't get into the ketamine safe, so they left with... a few bottles of apomorphine.

Doesn't help that there's a pharmaceutical company called Apotex, and if they had morphine it would be labeled Apo-morphine...

I bet they had an unpleasant suprise.
