THE American DEA consider "narcotic" to be synonymous with "opioid": https://www.mcieast.marines.mil/Portals/33/Documents/Safety/...

However, the term does come up with other meanings. The international narcotics control board (UN) deems opioids as narcotics, but also cannabis and cocaine: https://www.incb.org/incb/en/narcotic-drugs/index.html

But typically amphetamines are not classified as narcotics, even though you could argue they are based on dictionary definitions, i.e. "a drug (such as marijuana or LSD) subject to restriction similar to that of addictive narcotics whether physiologically addictive and narcotic or not" https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/narcotic
