Is it true that opioid drugs cause pinpoint pupils in people who take them?
Yes. A pharmacology review states that opiates act on opioid receptors and decrease pupillary size, and two clinical references list pinpoint pupils among opioid overdose signs. The general claim that opioids cause pinpoint pupils in people who take them is supported, though the clinical sources frame it mainly as an overdose sign.
