How do I deal with this opposition?

I just get so frustrated and worn out. My DD 17 seemed to be making progress with her decisions in life and using better judgement.... now it seems we are sliding back again. This past week, she decided to go with a kid who is really known as a druggy and has a very unstable home situation. Well, she decided to smoke weed with him even though her girlfriend didn't. DD told her brother (15) that she was very scared after doing that because she thought the weed was "laced." I nearly fainted when DS told me this and I had to keep quiet about it because he didn't want her to know he ratted. She told him her body felt way out of it and she couldn't feel her legs. She did tell DS that she was never going to smoke weed again. I decided to say nothing about this because with my DD's personality, if I say something, she will go out and do it again. She is quite oppositional. I am growing so very weary of all this. Now tonight, she asked if she could do something with a girl named Tessa who seems to be rather promiscuous. I said no and to start making better decisions about who she hangs out with. So what does she do?? She goes right on the computer to talk to her for over an hour. The next thing I know, Tessa calls me and is wondering why Abbi can't hang out with her. DD just can't seem to stay away from the bad influences. I mean she IS 17... when will she start acting a little more responsible?
