Morphology

anti-narcotics = anti-narcotic (transparent) = anti + narcotic + s

The policy sense is a standard extension of anti-narcotic, and the plural ending does not block interpretation.

Etymology

Anti-narcotics comes from the parts anti- 'against' and narcotic 'a drug that makes you numb', so it means measures or policies that try to prevent the use, sale, or trafficking of illegal drugs.
