A contact high is typically what is referred to when a person who is not smoking an illegal substance is near others who are and becomes high from inhaling the smoke that is in the air. It is, afterall, the inhaling of the drug that causes the high. Smoke does not differntiate between the person actually doing the smoking and those who are nearby not participating. Additionally, the term is now being used to describe other non illegal drug use situations.
If you take a sub-lingual medication and then kiss someone they will be absorbing that medication through their tongue just as you had and result in a contact high. Or the use of larger inhalers used for vasodialation, as in asthma, or the like, can also cause others in the room to have their lungs affected as a result. Not all of the drug, in any of these circumstances, is completely absorbed by the intended user and therefore can and often does affect a bystander.

Get the Shady Contractor mug.Someone who performs tasks even before he's been asked/hired/authorized to do so; he merely learns/overhears that something may need/be wished to be done, and so he himself steps in and completes said activity of his own accord, whether the people involved actually wish it to be performed or not. Just goes to show that you'll want to be really careful what you say when you're in the company of others --- you never know who might be listening, and then planning to carry out something that you merely mentioned about, not that you were actually asking anyone to perform for you.
MacGyver's arch-nemesis and professional gunman Murdoc takes the concept of "independent contractor" to a whole new --- and tragic --- extreme... even if the person who hires him merely wishes to have the mark scared --- or even if Murdoc's "employer" changes his mind and and no longer wishes Murdoc to perform said terrorism --- he continues to murderously pursue his mark anyway.
