You need to talk to him about it. The biggest part of a successful relationship is communication. Tell him what's bothering you, and show him that you are genuinely concerned for him and the relationship. Sim a spammerest counseling to him, but realize he might not opt for it if he doesn't see his drug use as a problem. Just talk it over with him as calmly as you can, and you'll be able to figure out what you need to do to.

 first, let me give you my advice.. If it bothers you you should sit down and talk to him one on one when he isn't high. Don't be upset if he doesn't stop right away sometimes it takes people time to see what is bothering you. Before my husband and I got married he had experimented with a few different drugs. When I moved in I found out and coming from an abusive drug filled home I told him that I didn't think I could be with him. He asked why and we had a very long talk. He gave up everything except weed. That worried me until I did some research,marijuana isn't addictive nor is it harmful to the mind or body. In fact it actually helps relieve pain,stress,anxiety,helps people sleep and gain weight. (my husband has insomnia and a very high metabolism) Something else you should keep in mind is that if you REALLY love him don't try to change him.
Now if its something more dangerous you SHOULD try to get him to change his ways. Not for your benefit but for his well being. Also don't leave him unless you feel you must. He will need you now more than ever.

I thinks soz if I offend him you should tell his parents and rehab is an option but if he doesn't like that idea talk to him

I agree with Fluffy - talk to him! Catch him first thing in the morning, when your moods are good...

I've been smoking weed for 16 years, almost daily, and I've had a great career, good friends, a house and half acre, my car and a little truck, and a wonderful husband and a kitty. But that isn't to say I don't have serious, serious problems and self-loathing..in fact, I'm not even sure how I got to today. I haven't dealt with these problems until just a week ago, and then I broke down sobbing when I realized why I'm this way...childhood abuse. It was all in a book I read.

There's probably a huge, huge reason why he smokes pot like that, which he isn't ready to admit to himself. It may take forever, and he may never quit. If you go behind his back and or tell on him to his parents, he may not trust you anymore. Have that talk with him...to his face. Respect! :)

I can say that after I finally admitted to myself that I was abused as a child, I've been smoking a lot less pot in this last week than I have for the past 16 years. I'm just not that interested in it anymore...to kill the pain and numb myself. I'm curious to discover who I am, and what I could be if I stop wasting time doing that.

That said, Dying Ember is right - people have been using marijuana for thousands of years as a true medicine, and just because it's illegal doesn't mean that it's evil. Alcohol was illegal in this country less than a hundred years ago. That's just what the law happens to be today.

Wondering how young he is?
