This is a myth. This might be a possibility in a tightly enclosed space with poor ventilation, but under realistic circumstances a "contact high" is pretty close to impossible.
- enneff 9y agoThe "contact high" is a real thing, but it is not about becoming intoxicated by the drug itself. It's a psychological phenomenon. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_high https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_high
- kobeya 9y agoSays you. I've experienced it, outdoors in close proximity. People's biology are different. Some people are hyper sensitive, others require massive doses to experience a high. This is true of basically all drugs, btw.

- SimbaOnSteroids 9y agoThe math involved would say its impossible, the placebo effect is a very real thing though.

- root_axis 9y agoWell sure, I would classify the placebo effect as a psychological explanation.
- kobeya 9y agoThere is no generalizable “math” involved. Everyone’s physiology is different and their susceptibility to THC depends on the specifics of their exact metabolic conditions in their own body. Some people get high on a few mg. Some people require 10’s of mg. Someone in close proximity to a smoker or smoking crowd could easily get a mg or two if the others are smoking heavy THC strains. The math checks out on that...
