Cat Nip = Cocaine for kitties? (in Off-topic)

Ok so for the first time me and my gf bought some cat nip for the 2 cats we are fostering for a friend of ours. Both of us not having much feline experience, we never have seen it in action. One lady at school told my gf that cat nip is like cocaine for cats... and after tonight, I believe this to be true!
It just seems like oregano and some other herbs, anyone know the nuts and bolts on how/why it works? Good goodness, this is hilarious and the jokes just keep coming, we're both laughing our _____ off (fill in the PG substitution blank of death and destruction!)
