Smoking, Change In Behaviour, Addicted To Parties

I feel like dying right now! I am so stressed - recently discovered my 21 year old daughter is smoking marijuana. She has changed towards me - here behaviour has changed - her moods have changed - she is becoming so disrespectful - leaving home to go to a party and does not return. I really dont know what to do - this is something i least expected - she was very different until about 19 years old. She does not follow any house rules and disregards me.
