It isn't a narcotic. It is a hallucinogen like mescaline and psilocybin. Narcotic are like morphine, codeine and oxycodone which kill pain. I think you are confusing the term narcotic with controlled substance. Marijuana is a schedule 1 controlled substance which means that there is no recognized therapeutic use in the US. However, the active ingredient, THC is a schedule 3 and is used to stimulate appetite and for control of nausea. It has some applications in narrow angle glaucoma too.
