I did not know that Soma's were not narcotics...are you sure about this? I was always told it was a derivative of Heroin, but am not sure now.

Basically Soma is not considered a narcotic because of its active ingredient Carisoprodol. It just does not fall under the definition of what a narcotic substance is.

" In U.S. legal context, narcotic refers to opium, opium derivatives, and their semi-synthetic or fully synthetic substitutes 'as well as cocaine and coca leaves,' which although classified as 'narcotics' in the U.S. Controlled Substances Act (CSA), are chemically not narcotics. Contrary to popular belief, marijuana is not a narcotic, nor are LSD and other psychedelic drugs. Specifically, steroids are not narcotics.

Many law enforcement officials in the United States inaccurately use the word 'narcotic' to refer to any illegal drug or any unlawfully possessed drug. An example is referring to cannabis as a narcotic. Because the term is often used broadly, inaccurately or pejoratively outside medical contexts, most medical professionals prefer the more precise term opioid, which refers to natural, semi-synthetic, and synthetic substances that behave pharmacologically like morphine, the primary active constituent of natural opium poppy. Although the overuse of the term 'narcotic' in various nonclinical contexts is technically inaccurate, it does serve adequately as a shorthand way of denoting any powerful or illegal drug. "

Soma is known to be abused quite frequently, often with other substances. For further reading on this topic, please also see Soma Details

Hope this helps!
