yes to both.

It is addictive and a narcotic

Depending on which narcotic you are talking about. Some narcotics like opioids (relating to heroin, morphine, oxycodone, hydrocodone, codeine, hydromorphone,) are physically addicting when used on a continual basis. As in you will have withdrawal effects when you stop taking. Narcotics like cocaine and free base cocaine (crack) will also cause withdrawal effects when you stop using after prolonged ingestion. Alcohol (not necessarily a narcotic) can also cause withdrawal effects after prolonged use. Some reports of marijuana discontinuation may cause some VERY temporary (maybe not even noticable) withdrawal such as irritability. But any substance that gives the user pleasure has the potential to be psychologically addicting.
