Technically, anything that has more than two different types of atoms in it is a compound, so morphine is a compound, it has carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen atoms.
Personally, I would consider morphine a chemical. While opium would be a compound (is composed of several chemicals--including morphine).

Is heroin a narcotic?
Yes indeed it is. Heroin [diacetyl morphine] is a partially synthetic opiate compound produced when acetyl molecules are are bonded to morphine [morphine sulfate] molecules. Morphine is a naturally occurring opiate produced by and from the poppy plant. In fact the body changes heroin into morphine. The purpose of bonding acetyl molecules to morphine is that it allows the new compound, heroin, to enter the brain 300% faster than morphine alone; That in turn makes heroin three times (3X) more potent than standard morphine on a molecule to molecule basis. All opiates are depressants and Heroin is the most frequently used illegal depressant.No, it's a narcotic.
