What is The Nods?
1.
"The Nods" is a state which every narcotic user (especially heavy narcotics, such as heroin) yearns for.
It is the state in which you drift in and out of conciousness for possibly several hours on end, and is associated with the state of "nirvana".
It's literally to the point where you feel so good you don't care if you are are asleep or awake, because you'll feel great anyway
When a person has "the nods" they feel very, very good, and is typically, after a "rush" the second favorite thing on any junkie's "to do" list after using narcotics.
It's basically every junkie's dream.
Damn! I can't believe that guy cought the nods off just 20mg of oxycontin.

the nods happen when you are trying to stay awake but your body wants to sleep... characterized by brief naps which end in a matter of seconds when your head nods and your body wakes up realizing that your trying to stay awake... usually repeated many times
jonny had the nods while sitting through his geography class
