>Shouldn't opioids, as a parasympathetic nervous system activator, cause digestion to increase?
What? Opioids are a CNS depressor, so obviously they're gonna cause constipation.

Sympathetic nervous system activation causes decreased digestion, and vice-versa. There are only two states your nervous system can be in, you can't have neither.

Basically, unless inhibited, digestion will occur. And sympathetic nervous system activation is what inhibits digestion.
