Explanation:

Narcotics (opioids) act on the brain to reduce pain, and they also have depressant effects on the central nervous system, slowing down brain activity. Hallucinogens cause hallucinations, steroids are related to hormone - like effects (e.g., muscle growth), and stimulants increase brain activity. So narcotics are also considered depressants.
