Introduction
Narcotics, also known as opioids, are drugs derived from opium that are made synthetically. These drugs can come in various forms, including tablets, powders, and syrups, and can be abused by swallowing,
smoking, sniffing, or injecting. They produce a sense of well-being but can lead to
drowsiness and addiction. Medically, they are used to manage pain and other conditions but can also have negative effects like
constipation and slowed breathing. Overdoses can be fatal, and these drugs are controlled substances in many countries, with various legal classifications based on their medical use and potential for abuse.
