I think you should really let the authorities know before more people gets endangered. . .

Calling the cops on him will ruin his life, his girlfriends life, and the lives of her parents [assuming you tell the whole story, that is].

If they had a meth lab going on in her parents' basement, sure, snitch. But when the kid finds a girlfriend and starts to spend more time with her than his other friends, and smokes with her and her rents to chill out and have some fun, I say leave him be. Or talk to him about it.

Calling the cops will do the following:
1) create money problems for your 'friend'
2) create legal problems for your 'friend'
3) create animosity between you and your 'friend'
4) create social services problems for your friends girlfriends parents

it will NOT:
1) make your friend realize his "mistakes"
2) make your friend hang out with you more
3) stop your friend from smoking a harmless drug

Do you want his life to actually be ruined or not?

I'd hope the answer would be no, meaning no cops.

Now what's so bad about him getting high? Maybe it's not affecting his life  at all, instead maybe people are just being selfish and ignorant. Without details, this is what i'd assume since i've seen it before. The only problem in the end was they were happy and the people around them didn't like this.

After more reading, sounds like you need more/better friends. He's involving you because you allow it.

People with drug problems need help and counseling, not a small room behind bars. Doesn't mean he'd be arrested if you got the cops involved but I think you get my point.

Don't call.  Talk to him about it, or to his mom or his other friends about it, but don't involve the authorities like that.  That's really serious.

From the way you've described your "friend," whom I haven't seen any mutual relationship properties between you and him to actually call him that, it seems that the way he acts on pot is his personality. Period. Marijuana or not won't be the difference between him losing all his friends or going to church and giving money to charity. In other words, calling the cops on him will do absolutely nothing besides screw things up even more for him. And considering his "bad-a" personality, I really don't think he can afford things being any messed up than they already might be.

If you're really a "Friend," then you'll continue talking to him and try to reason with him, or else just break off any relationship with him at all, considering he's not really being a "friend" back to you. But if you sincerely care about this guy, you'll keep trying to reason with him to the end. What is calling the cops gonna do that will benefit the situation?

For weed? Seriously? No just no. If anything, talk to him. The cops will do nothing but ruin his life, and all those around him.

He can't lose his life to weed. Weed just isn't that strong.
