Although in popular usage "narcotic" is often used to refer to most any illegal drug, strictly speaking the term "narcotic" can only be applied to substances that induce "narcosis", or a sleep/dream-like state. Examples include legal drugs such as [[morphine]] and [[codeine]], as well as illegal drugs such as [[heroin]] and [[opium]].
