Narcotic or sedative drug (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

opiate

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'narcotic' is the first definition.
(I know that opiate is a type of narcotic)

'sedative drug' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

(Other definitions for opiate that I've seen before include "A sleep-inducing drug (6)" , "A poet I become on this drug" , "Sedating drug" , "Drug with an opium base" , "dope" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
