Do you consider drugs like Meth, Cocaine, and LSD to be narcotics?

Pharmaceutically speaking, no these are not narcotics. Although they are all commonly referred to as such, only opiate derived drugs and medications are technically narcotics. Opium, heroin, morphine, oxycodone, hydromorphone, codeine and hydrocodone are examples of narcotics. Methamphetamine and cocaine are both stimulants, and LSD is in a cl of it's own. This is really immaterial however because it is only a conflict of semantics. Any way you look at it, each of these is a cl I scheduled drug (allowed only for research and conversion), and can be extremely destructive in their own right.
