No.

Contact high is a phenomenon that sometimes occurs in otherwise sober people and animals who come into contact with someone who is under the influence of drugs. It involves a supposed transfer of the psychological state of highness. This is often attributed to things such as stale latent cannabis smoke and the transcutaneous transfer of psychoactive chemicals.[citation needed] However, this may also be explained by the subconscious picking up on the user's "vibe" and sociological factors.[citation needed] A glossary of drug users' language from the 1970s describes the term as "a psychogenic 'trip' without taking drugs by being close to somebody while he is on drugs. It is incorrect to use it for the high obtained by inhaling the smoke of other marijuana smokers."

In Alexander Shulgin's PiHKAL book under the 2C-I entry, a notable reaction is observed in a participant who takes a placebo, existing in an environment with other people who are under the drug's influence.

Stanislav Grof, together with his wife Christina, experienced a contact high assisting a person under LSD therapy described in his book When the Impossible Happens: Adventures in Non-Ordinary Reality (2006) in Part 4 about Pecherskaya Lavra (p. 213, in German edition).
