That is quite an unusual definition of the word "narcotic". Typically, the function/purpose of a narcotic is to dull the perception of pain.
That being said, and according to my fallible opinion, all physical catalyst results in a change in brain chemistry. This would include pharmaceutical drugs and herbal preparations, as well as food or any other substance ingested and/or applied to the body. In addition to various forms of matter, light and sound can also be used to alter brain chemistry.
