It depends on the purpose for which the narcotic is being used, and how it was obtained. Certain narcotics can be considered medication, but only if a doctor prescribes them. Doctors will sometimes write a prescription for a narcotic when a patient has intense pain. The drug is considered medication under that circumstance because you will take it for a specific period of time and only under the doctor's supervision.

But even a doctor knows that narcotics can be addictive, so your use of the medication is supposed to be monitored and you will be expected to only take the amount the doctor prescribed. On the other hand, if you obtained the narcotic without a prescription and are using it just to get high, or because you are an addict, then that is not considered medication. It is considered the illegal use of an addictive substance.
