Psychic drug experience

I've experienced it before and have read it from others that close friends can feel each other's subjective effects from a psychoactive.
I know physically it is impossible, but when it comes to the strange and almost arcane realm of consciousness and what it can/not perceive, it seems possible.
Today, I introduced a close friend to good ole' pot. I haven't smoked in years and didn't have any with him. I got him some good, pungent stuff with many trichomes and an almost 'piney' scent. He had a small bowl and felt the effects as a first-timer (I couldn't feel it until my third time when I was a beginner).
I never inhaled, and only smelled the smoke once, but the smoke never went into my face. I know it was placebo, but later that night, we were relaxing at his house. Normally, I have social anxiety, and I'm a little shy around his sister. Well, I felt more open and giddy.
What do your experiences with this phenomenon say? Is it placebo or is there something a little psychic going on?

Not sure what your asking here. You're asking us if you got high from second hand smoke? Why don't you smoke it first hand and find out for yourself?

Hmm i've seen this in my friends, even ones didn't smoke, they sorta come out of their closet a bit if a few of us in the room have smoked up, can't say i've experienced it myself. But i do notice that if I know i'm about to smoke up I occasionally feel and act like i'm already high. Just the excitement of being chilled really.

I definitely think there is a strong metaphysical connection among friends who have been high together. When you are high, you are more susceptible to your environment and the "vibes" of those around you, maybe his newfound "openness" rubbed off on you and you felt those familiar feelings of being "high". Kind of like when you are around a young kid for a long time, some of their creativity, innocence and freedom rub off on you, and you start reminiscing of the days of your childhood.
And I wouldn't say "psychic" events(metaphysical, even transcendental are better words for it) is "physically impossible". The mind is a very strange and alien place to us. Just because science hasn't proven the existence of certain realms of being, doesn't mean that they are hippy hogwash. There was once a world that denied the existence of microbial life before the microscope was invented, And you get the exact situation, except with realms beyond our physical understanding of science, realms to abstract and, really, unthinkable, that the closest thing that it harmonizes with in science are theoretical physics (quantum, E8, String Theory).
If you think THIS is strange, or even amusing. I've experienced weirder things with my friends on mushrooms and LSD. I am talking telepathy, synchronicity, hive-minded ego dissolution, contact with beings in other dimensions, Gaian-mind connections, astral travel, etc. etc. etc....
Just pick up any Carlos Castaneda book, and you'll know what I mean.

God i need to read that stuff.
One strange observation i actually made in a first-timer mescaline tripper on new years. He was one in a group of 8 which i provided the cactus for. was he spent the whole night talking about "connections" how he could both see and feel them.
He'd interupt me and my girlfriend talking saying he could see a stream coming from our heads when we talked to each other, sending and recieving. and then he noticed us later just looking at each other breifly across the room and talked about the "connections" he could feel.
One must keep in mind this guy is hit by anything hard. Weed makes him think he's shat himself and then he turns into a robot and claims it wasn't him but someone else in the room.

life is full of stuff that works out without us playing god and trying to control it. each character is equal tons to learn; and keep on learning.
call it psychic, it certainly is synchronic, but it is life - enjoy.

Yeah, I've noticed this too... when you're high, usually others around you seem to exhibit traits of being stoned as well... I've seen this more than once... if you've done any reading on shamanism/altered mind states, you've probably heard that certain mindstates have the ability to draw other's into 'it'... I'm just guessing this is the reason for the phenomena... to have science explain it... well, good luck, but as for it's existence, it's real. Why? Ask God, ask yourself!

Sometimes if I'm high and my friends aren't high, I'll just go for hours forgetting to remember that they aren't stoned also, cause I'm just so used to all of us being high at any given time.
