Unless you have been emancipated, you cannot leave home without parental consent until you reach the age of majority (in most states the age of majority is 18, but in a few states it's higher). Her being your adoptive mom is irrelevant, as is her being gay. As far as the drug problems, from the way you worded the question it appears that you're talking about drug problems in the PAST rather than the present. Lots of people have had drug problems in their past, but then cleaned up their lives. If she's CURRENTLY using drugs then I'd urge you to discuss the situation with a school counselor. If you are in a dangerous or unsafe environment, then you need to report it immediately.

Can I get in trouble if my 22 yr old son is caught in your house with an illegal drug?

No YOU should not get in trouble for an adult son having drugs on him. If it was at your house or any house as long as the drugs are on him, he will be the one in trouble. My younger brother is currently in jail for something similar, his friends did not have drugs on them because they put it on my brothers table in my brothers house. My brother was convicted of those drugs since it was his house, but yet my brother was not even home at the time. As long as the drugs are on him, he gets the blame.

Why would a seventeen year old leave home to do drugs?

If the 17 year old knows that such activities are not acceptable at home and has parents who consistently act on it, this is a pain in the neck [to him/her] so they leave. It doesn't really have to do with reasonable behavior.
