narcotic drugs

Narcotic drugs are substances that typically originate from the opium poppy or are chemically similar, and they primarily act on the nervous system to relieve pain and produce a sense of euphoria. While they can be effective for medical pain management, they also have a high potential for addiction and misuse. Common narcotics include drugs like morphine, heroin, and codeine. Due to their addictive nature, they are usually regulated and prescribed carefully to prevent dependence and abuse. Their use beyond medical supervision can lead to serious health risks, including overdose and death.
