[http://www.unodc.org/unodc/en/bulletin/bulletin_1980-01-01_1_page006.html "The dependence potential of thebaine."] "Bulletin on Narcotics". 1980; 32(1):45–54. Accessed October 5, 2007. PMID 6778542] Thebaine (paramorphine) is an opiate alkaloid. A minor constituent of opium, thebaine is chemically similar to both morphine and codeine, but has stimulatory rather than depressant effects, causing strychnine-like convulsions at higher doses.Aceto MD, Harris LS, Abood ME, Rice KC. "Stereoselective mu- and delta-opioid receptor-related antinociception and binding with (+)-thebaine." "European Journal of Pharmacology". 1999 Jan 22;365(2-3):143-7. PMID 9988096] Thebaine is not used therapeutically, but can be converted industrially into a variety of compounds including oxycodone, oxymorphone, nalbuphine, naloxone, naltrexone, buprenorphine and etorphine.

It is controlled under international law, is listed as a Class A drug under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 in the United Kingdom and is controlled as a Schedule II of the Controlled Substances Act in America.
