In 2008 I read a study researchers in Australia developing a pain killer from cone snail venom. (I'm a nurse and just found the study at the nurses station left by some med students) It was much more powerful than morphine but didn't use the codeine pathway. Patients didn't get high but the pain went away (it was approved for limited human trials after animal trials). I was blown away reading the study and one of the attending docs come over to see what I was reading. He looked at me shaking his head. "The drug will never go mainstream. The big pharma groups won't allow it. It's a pain medication that works without euphoria." That was the day I woke up to big pharma.
