Re: Can I get charged just by being around people who have drugs?
Yes- It is possible to be charged with something under the facts you described. Getting convicted is another matter. The facts of the particular situation are very determinate. If you are in close physical proximity to those that are partaking, if you are underage, if you have any ownership to the car or house where it is occurring.
Your question begs for facts that just aren't there, in order to give a more definite answer
