narcotics laws  

Definición

  • From the Greek narke, meaning “numbness” or “stupor,” narcotics are technically any class of drugs that induce sleep. But that narrow definition does not align with either the medical meaning of the word or the meaning ascribed to it in the law regulating narcotics. [Source: The Social History of Crime and Punishment in America: An Encylopedia; Narcotics Laws]
