What is a "narcotic"?
A narcotic is a type of drug that affects the brain and central nervous system, often leading to pain relief, drowsiness, and a sense of calm or feelings of extreme joy and excitement. Narcotics can be natural substances made from the poppy plant or artificial substances. They are commonly used for medical purposes to manage pain but can also be misused because of their addictive nature. Misuse of narcotics can lead to serious health risks, including overdose and respiratory issues.
