What is the difference between a narcotic and a controlled drug?
Wiki User
∙ 12y ago
The term narcotic describes the effect that the drug has; it causes narcosis, which involves pain-killing, euphoria, and some degree of unconsciousness. A controlled substance is any drug that is either completely prohibited, or that is legally available only under specified conditions. This describes the legal status of the drug without saying anything about what effect it has on people who use it. Narcotics are controlled substances, but so are hallucinogens, and many other types of drugs as well.
