Narcotics are opium-based pain drugs. Marijuana and psychadelic drugs are not considered narcotics, wheras heroin is.

1. (narrow-sense) An opiate, such as heroin, morphine, codeine, etc.

2. (broad-sense) A powerful mind-altering substance, usually illegal (tho not necessarily, see DXM, an over-the-counter narcotic, and hillbilly heroin, Ritalin, Vicodin, etc. which are legally prescribed).

An opiate, such as heroin, morphine, or opium. It doesn't mean just any super-addictive drug, like meth. Just opioids like codeine.

Too often misused by propagandists and the ignorant as a word to describe any illegal drug that you're not supposed to use. This is probably because of its scary-sounding name, like some sort of hybridization between psychotic and nark, which just sounds awful.

Don't listen to anybody who uses it that way. They have no clue what they're talking about.

A step up from drunk dialing ... a narcotics dial is when you've just been released from the hospital and are experiencing excruciating pain and nausea despite the (Percocet, Delaudin, other narcotic) you received, and dial your ex while you're out of your mind and leave an incomprehensible, nonsensical message or worse yet, you actually speak to him or her and have no idea what you actually said.

Toxic Narcotic is a heavy punk band originating in Boston, Mass. So heavy, in fact, Toxic Narcotic is probably the heaviest you can get without being metal. They have a lot of songs about saving the environment. They also sing about politics and society.

Narcotics Anonymous is fellowship of men and women for whom drugs (and,yes, alcohol IS a drug) had become a major problem. They meet regularly to help each other stay clean. NA uses the 12 Steps and 12 Traditions as originated by AA, but have abridged them to be all-inclusive. Narcotics Anonymous was formed in 1953 by several addicts, the most well-known perhaps, being Jimmy K. The formation of NA was necessary because addicts were not welcomed into AA, and could not stay clean. Narcotics Anonymous has it's own literature, the most important being the Basic Text, and it's own unique language. NA uses "clean," "clean time," and "recovery," rather than sober and sobriety. Narcotics Anonymous has over 50,000 meetings per week worldwide. As stated in the 5th Tradition, every group has but one primary purpose; to carry the message to the addict who still suffers. That message is that an addict, any addict, can stop using drugs, lose the desire to use, and find a new way to live.
