: Does anybody know the origin and exact meaning of this phrase "dead in the head"? I am especially interested in its use in reference to drug addicts.
: Thanks in advance, Denis.

The term "dead head" refers to fans of the rock group "The Greatful Dead" and it is a common misconception that Dead Heads are heavy drug users. Perhaps there is a connection between these two expressions.
