Effects of low (butorphanol, nalbuphine)-, intermediate (buprenorphine)-, and high (morphine, levorphanol)-efficacy mu opioids were examined in F344, Sprague-Dawley (SD), Long-Evans (LE), and Lewis rats using a tail withdrawal and a drug discrimination procedure. In the tail withdrawal procedure using low
