I scanned through the posts because I can tell you hard it would have been to move for our oldest daughter had we done so in the middle of high school.  She and her husband and young daughters now live in Silver Springs in MoCo.  I think it is important for every parent to set standards with teenagers and to adhere to them.  However, you are raising a point about a teen who is soon to turn 18 and "legally" be on her own.  You do need to keep reenforcing upon her the legalities as you have mentioned about even being in the company of others who are smoking, even if she is not, including when driving.  At her age, it is more than just holding one set of parents "accountable' about what is done in your daughter's presence.  It is to clearly state the impact of what poor decision-making on her part will make in terms of any controlled substance - alcohol as well as marijuana.

I can agree that moving to a high school in MoCo can be an overwhelming experience as they are very large such as 2,500 to 3,000 teens.  You seemed to have been slammed pretty hard for the decision that you made for your daughter.  Well, my daughter hears many tall tales from a 16 year old "mother's helper" who comes over to help out with the twins in the evening.  For those preaching to you, it seems that drugs of all kinds are rampant in the high schools and it is well known that alcohol, of course, is at the ever ready and served by parents routinely to other teens.  So to all parents, I would add to set standards and keep reminding them of the decision making across the board for alcohol, pills, and alcohol.
