The by-products of THC metabolism can remain in the body for up to six weeks, depending on the original concentration. It is impossible to say with certainty, because the amount of THC in given samples of marijuana can vary a great deal.
Personally, if it were a matter, say, of staying out of jail, I wouldn't chance it. You can get a positive test from passive smoke, but it is generally such a small amount that it could not be confused with the amounts achieved by direct smoking. A quantitative analysis will easily catch you out on that one.
The above refers to the average person. There is a lot of mythology floating around about drug testing. For example, the original answer to this question related it to weight and metabolism. Neither is especially significant, unless you are obese and smoke a great deal. Since THC metabolites are fat soluble, they can and do remain in the bodies of such folks for much longer than "normal."
I used to run a testing program, and -- believe me -- if you've been cheating and they want to get you, they will. Drug testing is not the hit or miss process that most people believe. Most of the information on the Web is meant to sell you stuff, or just wishful thinking. When people beat the tests, it is almost always because of sloppy testing, not some "tea" that you paid way too much for.

Report her. Either go to the police, or talk to a trusted adult. If you do not like it then you should not be forced to do it. Please, talk to someone about it.

Keep doing it.

Alochol abuse has been discussed til it's nearly dead and you will find if you research it enough that most alocholics believe it's heriderity that causes them to be alocholics. Passed down through a family member who drank and it doesn't necessarly have to be immediate family it could be an aunt or Uncle. Most alochoics that I've talked to and there have been many as I too am an Alocholic believe that our sickness has nothing to do with Culture. For example, some Nationalities of people drink wine with every meal, that doesn't make them alocholics as when they leave the table they don't usually drink anymore. I don't know what your definition of an Alocholic is, but my definition is someone who absolutely craves alochol and it doesn't mean that they have to buy it in a corner store, it could be shoe polish as that contains wood alochol or it could be shaving lotion if the abuser wants to drink bad enough he or she will drink anything that has alchol in it including some cough medicines.

What is meant by personal and social factors that contribute to substance abuse?
i'm pretty sure personal factors means if the person suffers from impulsive behavior, manic episodes, depressive episodes, things like that that contribute to a person using drugs. also it has to do with whether addiction runs in the family. if someone's mom and dad were both alcoholics then there's more of a chance the child will be. social factors probably have to do with what they are surrounded by. if all of a person's friends drink, the person is more likely to. in a person's social circle, how substances are viewed influences how the person views them. if they are viewed as fun, the person will more than likely view them as fun too. it's not peer pressure really, but peer influence.
How long are the trips and how serious are they on 20x?
If you are talking about Salvia 20x then not very long and not very intense. AT ALL. Seriously. The couple times that I did Salvia I was smoking 60x and my trip only lasted about 10-15 minutes, and I only actually hallucinated for about 1-2 minutes. The rest of it was just a strange head high.

What plant is used for narcotics?
Opium derivatives come from Opium Poppies. Synthetic opiates are made in the laboratory. Cocaine is derived from Coca leaves, which are also considered narcotics by the DEA.
Note: The word "narcotic" means "sleep-inducing." It is technically improper to refer to cocaine as a narcotic, because it is a stimulant. This is indicative of the ignorance of the folks who crafted the drug laws in the US.
