opiate - narcotic analgesic derived from a opium poppy (natural)

opioid - narcotic analgesic that is at least part synthetic, not found in nature
No. Opioids can also be natural. For example the endorphins are opioid peptides.

I took to much of the concentrate one time. If you take to much its worse
Kratom is great if your the right person and use it correctly but can kick your ass when abused. Makes me last forever in bed and a great uplift after a rough day but dosing high enough to get any pronounced euphoria seems to give me head head spins at an exponentially proportionate level.

Ive used this for short durations here and there for more than a decade, long before it ended up in head shops as a "legal drug". Disregard most of the info you read online if you try this one but know the side effects are real and effect everyone differently. For me I'm very sensitive to Kratom if I haven't used this in some months 3.5grams for a first dose done in a tea without drinking the bottoms is way way more than I needed and almost always leaves me extremely uncomfortable with very shallow breathing. Ive heard of people taking 10-20gram/dose and more, I could never imagine taking that much without some serious side effects or worse.

For me its about as habit forming as drinking a morning coffee but others can get in some serious trouble with this stuff. What I do get though is extremely bad depression for the next few days following a week long evening tea routine but its easy to abstain, doesn't drive me to take a dose . Watch yourself with this one, some people seem to do better than others with it start with very low doses and treat this one with respect.
than od ing on opiates. I got so sick and cold sweats. I haven't touched it since. I used to like brewing some whole leaf with a little tea.
I've heard bad things about the concentrates... I wouldn't touch them cause plain leaf works wonders for me on its own. I use low doses too... No more than 2.5g per dose, I've never needed any more. I've noticed some headaches but other than that, no negative side effects.

Everything in moderation. (although, in saying that, I'm a bit of a hypocrite)
