very lost!!!

I have a 16 year daughter who has been smokeing pot on a regular basis. A few months ago she was caught with pot at school, was suspened, got a ticket and had to go to a few drug classes. I got her to quit for month, drug tested her (which) came out negative and things were a lot better between us.

Since I have drug tested her she started smoking pot again, but this time shes smoking it more than last time (I think). Every night she comes in the house stoned and doesn't even care is I know. This whole past weekend I caught her 4 times and asked her to at least not smoke it during the week. She said I can do that.

Then tonight (Tuesday night) she tells me she is going to the movies and wanted some money. I gave her $25.00 and told her it had to last for a few days for lunch also. Anyway, she came home stoned, did not go to the movies and spent the whole $25.00 on pot. I got the pot from her (which was not easy) and flushed it down the toilet.

What is really hard is I got so angry and we got into a yelling match. I don't have a lot of money and the thought of her spending my money on pot made me very angry. I don't even know where to go from here. Her grades are slipping, all her friends are pot heads and I felt so deceived tonight. She was doing so well now she is just messing up again. Does anyone have any advise they could give me on how to handle things? I think she may have a problem. Everywhere I look they say ask your child. My child fully admits to smoking pot. Where do I go from there?
