abstract="Harms attributed to others' alcohol use have been extensively studied in the US and  internationally, but no studies have measured harms from others' marijuana use. We  utilize data from five cross-sectional waves of a survey series with representative  samples of Washington state residents conducted every 6 months from 2014 to 2016,  after the legalization of adult use marijuana. Harms attributed to others' drinking  and to others' marijuana use included family and financial problems, assault,  harassment, and vandalism experiences, and accidents due to impaired drivers. Past  year harms attributed to others' marijuana use were reported by 8.4% of the sample,  while 21.3% reported alcohol-attributed harms and 4.3% experienced both. Women were  more likely to experience harms from either substance. While heavy drinkers were  most likely to experience alcohol harms from others' use, frequent marijuana users  reported the least harms from others. About three times as many individuals reported  harassment, vandalism, or family problems attributed to someone's alcohol use  compared to those harms attributed to someone's marijuana use, with a smaller ratio  seen for financial trouble and a wider ratio for physical harm. Harms attributed to  other's marijuana use in Washington were found to be substantial, but lower than  harms from others' drinking.
