the nods

"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.

On the nod

(Verb) Oftentimes the condition or state of being a person wishes to attain, and usually does whenever the sufficient amount of opiates are consumed. Successful attainment will include eyes closed and head titled slightly down. In its most extreme form this writer has seen a person practically folded in half while standing upright as if they were touching their toes.
Grant doesn't have a single pair of pants that do not have cigarette burns on the legs. Every time he gets on the nod he will light a cigarette, then he'll closes his eyes and he doesn't come to or snap out of it until the cigarette burns up and burns a hole in his pants.
