I call BS. Evidence?
You don’t even know what a contact high is. Admit it.
Me. Walking downtown in any major city, wading thru hippies blowing pot smoke in my face.
I’m not minding you. You’re just a contrarian.
That’s not a contact high, dude.
That wasn't a contact high - that was the power of suggestion. Experiments show that the amount of THC absorbed into the bloodstream from second-hand pot smoke is not even detectable much less psychoactive.
Trust me, I’m absolutely positive I know the diff between power of suggestion and a real marijuana high, contact or not.
But if it’s that important to you, I’ll let you win, dude.
I'm sure you are.
Just curious — how old are you?
Right! In addition to continuously raising taxes on tobacco, states are trying to raise the age of purchasing to 21......go figure!
Well, there you are, kiddo.
I was positive before you were even born.

Right now pot is not only legal but has less of a social stigma then even drinking does. OF course there will be more teens doing it.
BTW I would discount ANY reports commissioned by the state of Colorado. They will never tell the truth about use among teens or else they'd have to admit there's a problem with legalization.
From the second article you linked...
“The study, published in JAMA Pediatrics, showed that legalization of recreational marijuana use significantly reduced perceptions of marijuana’s harmfulness by 14 percent and 16 percent among eighth and 10th graders and increased their past-month marijuana use by two percent and four percent in Washington state, but not in Colorado.”
And the first article you posted makes NO assertion of increased use by teens.
And the newest data is what's reported in the article at the top of this thread - so there you go.
