Is cannabis a narcotic drug

Answer 1

No, but the ether that is usually added to it does have a sedating effect. This is evident in The Cider House Rules by John Irving. Dr. Larch becomes addicted to ether while suffering from gonorrhea, and eventually overdoses and dies while using it.

Answer 2

Yes, in a U.S. legal context, the term "narcotic" specifically refers to opium, opium derivatives, and their semi-synthetic or fully synthetic substitutes, as well as cocaine and coca leaves.

But doctors and scientists consider narcotics to be any drug that cause central nervous system (CNS) depression and cocaine doesn't cause CNS depression.

Answer 3

No, Cocaine is quite the opposite. While opiates are downers, cocaine is a mild upper which can create speedlike effects. It is also numbing and is in the same family as novicane. Make sure you gum it to see if its even real. If you dont even know what that means, have somone else who does do it for you.

Yeah, I tried it a couple times way back when I was in college. I must have gotten some real sorry stuff cause when I gummed it all it would do is numb my mouth real good. So I just tossed it in the trash.
