Statutory [[classification]] of a [[drug]] as a narcotic often increases the penalties for [[violation]] of drug control statutes. For example, although federal law classifies both [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cocaine cocaine] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amphetamines amphetamines] as "Schedule II" drugs, the penalty for possession of cocaine is greater than the penalty for possession of amphetamines because cocaine, unlike amphetamines, is classified as a narcotic.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcotics]
